Chortle Award Winner and Perrier Award nominee, comedian Alex Horne talks about his new book, Wordwatching. Charting Alex’s hilarious quest to get an invented word into the dictionary, Wordwatching is a hi-tech joke-filled extravaganza tracking the highs and lows of this ambitious, ridiculous campaign.
Alex co-created, writes and co-hosts the new BBC 4 comedy quiz We Need Answers and is widely renowned among critics, comics and audiences as a thoughtful and original stand-up, writer and solo performer.
Introduced by Rowan Pelling, Writer and Broadcaster
