Alasdair Beckett-King is a man of many talents - an award-winning comedian, video game writer and now also author of children's books, he has a very funny YouTube channel, has appeared on numerous TV shows and his debut novel, Montgomery BonBon: Murder at the Museum was published in February 2023.

We had a great time speaking with Alasdair about his career, hearing how he got into stand-up and why the pandemic helped him break out as a comedy star. We also chat about his love of point and click video games and hear about how he began to write for those, as well as hearing about what led to his debut novel, Murder at the Museum. He tells us all about the different challenges for writing in these different formats, and also displays his wide knowledge of the whodunnit genre!
