Following his poem Fireworks Fireworks Bang Bang Bang at the age of six, Mason eventually took the whole writing thing a little more seriously, graduating in 2009 from London Metropolitan University, having received first class honours in Creative Writing.

 

In his second year, he won the Sandra Ashman award for his poem Mother Theresa in the Winner’s Enclosure.

 

He has subsequently had work published in Succour magazine and Brand magazine.

 

Mason is currently developing his next novel. In addition to this, he writes, co-produces and hosts the award-winning monthly cabaret night The Double R Club (as Benjamin Louche, winner of “Best Host” at the London Cabaret Awards). He also worked as a creature performer on Star Wars: The Force Awakens & The Last Jedi.

​

Mason is a trustee of the charity Cabaret vs Cancer.

​

He lives in East London with his wife, a cat called Monkey, and a collection of antique medical equipment.
