Alex Musson  Taller Than Jesus

MUSTARD'S EDITOR, WRITER, DESIGNER & TEA-BOY

When he isn't earning his keep with the day-job, Alex edits and designs Mustard magazine (the printed version and the website) as well as writing about half of each issue.

His other comedy writing credits include sketches for BBC Radio 1 and comic book scripts for FutureQuake. Between 2002 and 2003 he performed stand-up (making the BBC New Talent semi-finals) and improv around the country, and regularly appeared as a panelist on the CNB news quiz. More on all that at www.alexmusson.com/edy.
