Alfie Joey is an entertainer.

A comedian, impressionist, broadcaster and actor. 

Since he was a small boy, his family said he should be on the stage. 

But he didn't take that path. Instead to the shock of those closest to him he trained to be a priest and then a monk. 

Until one moment changed his life.

What do you do when you realise you've changed your mind about the person you want to be?

How do you engage with a life you have never known?
