Lee Ridley

(Lost Voice Guy)

Lee Ridley AKA Lost Voice Guy may not be able to talk, but he definitely has something to say, and his comedy will leave you speechless.

Since making his first stand up performance in February 2012, Ridley has gained quite the reputation for being both very funny and very unique.

He’s gigged across the country performing at clubs and small venues, and has warmed up at tour shows for the likes of Ross Noble, Patrick Kielty, Jason Manford and Jason Cook.

In 2014 he won the BBC New Comedy Award and went on to became the winner of ITV’s highest rated show, Britain’s Got Talent, in 2018; the first comic ever to win the show.

Lee’s other credits include his own sitcom BBC Radio 4 sitcom, Ability, Live at the Apollo for BBC, and in late 2018 he completed a huge nationwide theatre tour before releasing his debut book in May 2019.

Supporting Lee we have the hilarious Simon Lomas;
