Al Pitcher är en komiker född i England och uppvuxen i Nya Zeeland. Han bor i Sverige sedan 2010 med sin svenska fru och sina barn. När Al först kom till Sverige slogs han av hur folk skulle "fika" hela tiden. Han förstod snabbt hur viktig fikakulturen är för svenskar. Al är känd för att vara vänlig, varm och väldigt rolig på scenen, men utanför scenen han har en rädsla för att lära känna nya människor. Så, för att bli av med denna sociala rädsla har Al nu bestämt sig för att bjuda in några "DRÖMGÄSTER” som han vill lära känna bättre – och vad är bättre än att ta en fika tillsammans?
