A. J. Alan was the pseudonym of Leslie Harrison Lambert (1883-1941), an English magician, intelligence officer, short story writer, and radio broadcaster. He was hugely popular in the '20s and '30s for his radio broadcasts, when he performed his own humorous and often macabre short stories, which he always delivered wearing full evening dress.

A Foggy Evening tells of a night when A. J. Alan is mistaken by a stranger for someone else, and decides to play along with the mistake. He is dragged along to a mysterious party, which turns out to be the meeting of a very odd secret society. All narrated with A. J. Alan's infection humour.
