Beano presents

The ultimate family show, created for kids aged 5-100, that proves that loving reading, writing and drawing can 100% guarantee laughs, smiles and happiness for everyone.

Beano's Directors of Mischief and Mayhem, Mike Stirling and Craig Graham, reveal their top tips for creating laugh-out-loud stories and pictures. They'll share secrets from their time as Beano readers, editors and children's book authors to help you create a story deserving of a place in the Library of Laughs!

About the speakers

Craig Graham and Mike Stirling were both born in Kirkcaldy, Fife, in the same vintage year when Dennis first became the cover star of Beano.

Ever since, they’ve been training to become the Brains behind Beano Books (which is mostly making cool stuff for kids from words and funny pictures).

They’ve both been Beano Editors, but now Craig is Director of Mayhem and Mike is Director of Mischief (ooh, fancy!) at Beano Studios.

So, mischief and mayhem are 100% guaranteed with their appearance at the National Library of Scotland.
