ALEXANDER ARMSTRONG is an English comedian, actor, television and radio presenter and bass-baritone singer.

Alexander is best known as one half of the comedy duo Armstrong and Miller, who starred in four series of Armstrong and Miller and The Armstrong and Miller Show.

In 2020, Alexander took over from John Suchet on Classic FM to host their flagship weekday mid-morning programme.

He continues to be a regular on the BBC series Have I Got News For You, having hosted more than 40 episodes and also hosts the hugely popular TV quiz show Pointless, on BBC1. More recently, he has found success as a travel presenter with the series Alexander Armstrong In… for Channel 5, where he has visited far flung fields such as Sri Lanka, South Korea and Iceland.

In 2015, having already published three books, two more hit the shelves, The A-Z of Pointless, co-authored with Richard Osman and Land Of The Midnight Sun, in which Alexander documented his adventures during his two-month trip to the Arctic for ITV.

2024 saw him publish his debut children’s novel, Evenfall: The Golden Linnet, the first in the Evenfall series.
