Alexei Sayle enters the Beard Hall of Fame on his 70th Birthday
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that on his 70th birthday one of the founders of alternative comedy and long-time beard wearer Alexei Sayle has been admitted to the Beard Hall of Famen.
He joins other iconic beard wearers including Brian Blessed, Sir Mo Farah, Frank Dobson, Dave Swarbrick and Spike Milligan
Sayle has one of the most iconic beards in British public life and was given a Lifetime Achievement Award by the BLF in May 2021.
Alexei Sayle was the first MC at the Comedy Store in London as far back as 1979 and has had five decades of radical and sometimes challenging comedy across a range of mediums
The campaigners say that the entry to the Beard Hall of Fame on his 70th birthday reflects the sustained positive image that Sayle has presented of the hirsute in public life.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett, we are pleased to honour Alexei Sayle with entry to the select and distinguished Beard Hall of Fame. His beard proved sustainable through the dark days of pogonophobia in Britain and while he remains a controversial figure to some we are in doubt that he is a great ambassador for the hirsute.
