Let's make this birthday one to remember.

50 years old (Born on February 08, 1975)

Happy Birthday, Alun Cochrane! May your day be filled with more laughs than a Mock the Week outtake reel and fewer awkward silences than an Edinburgh Fringe matinee. Your razor-sharp wit on The Alternative Comedy Experience has left audiences chuckling uncontrollably—mostly because we’re still trying to figure out how you make everyday life sound hilariously absurd.

From effortlessly bantering alongside Frank Skinner on Absolute Radio since 2011, you've proven that comedy gold can indeed strike twice—or weekly at least. Here's hoping this year brings even greater success (and perhaps finally reveals what exactly makes Scottish comedians so brilliantly funny). Cheers!
