Film Director Mike Leigh faces Alexei Sayle in Beard of Winter final vote
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that veteran film director Mike Leigh, faces comedian and commentator Alexei Sayle in the final ‘Beard Off’ vote for the Beard of Winter 2025
Indian cricketer Jasprit Bumrah and former Scots First Minister Humza Yousaf are also on the poll
Beard of Winter focuses on two areas:
Organic beards designed to withstand the winter weather
Beards that have been in the public eye in the previous couple of months
There have been two preliminary Close Shave Rounds with the top two from each going to a final Beard Off. The Winner is announced on 31st January
BLF Organiser Keith Flett, we expect the final vote to bristle in a veritable follicle frenzy
