This week Emily and Ray take a Regent’s Park stroll with the brilliant comedian, writer and filmmaker Alasdair Beckett-King.
You’ll likely know Alasdair from TV favourites like Would I Lie to You?, Mock the Week and 8 Out of 10 Cats, as well as his hugely inventive online comedy. He chats to Emily about his childhood in the North East (and why he doesn’t sound Geordie), an unforgettable school nativity mishap, and the unexpected romantic twist involving the girl who played Mary.
They also talk about his early ambitions to become a serious filmmaker, how that shaped his comedy when he started creating his own viral videos, and his work as a children’s author. His Montgomery Bonbon mystery series has been described as Knives Out meets Poirot for kids, and his latest book Scandal on the Stage is out this July and available to pre-order now.
Alasdair is currently touring the UK with his show King of Crumbs, so don’t miss your chance to see him live. Tickets are available at https://www.abeckettking.com/
It’s a warm, funny and fascinating walk, with plenty of laughs along the way, and even a touch of hair envy from Ray.
