Winner – Britain’s Got Talent 2018
LOST VOICE GUY
UK TOUR 2019
With tour support from 2017 BGT semi-finalist - Jonny Awsum
Palace Theatre, Westcliff on Sea
Friday 8th February 2019
“INCREDIBLY TALENTED” Simon Cowell
“GENIUS” Alesha Dixon
“BLOODY BRILLIANT” Amanda Holden
“UTTERLY HILARIOUS” David Walliams

“LAUGH-OUT LOUD FUNNY” ★★★★ The Independent

The Winner of Britain’s Got Talent 2018, and star and writer of BBC Radio 4’s brand new comedy series, Ability, Lee Ridley (aka Lost Voice Guy) is proud to announce his highly anticipated debut UK tour.

“CONSISTENTLY HILARIOUS” ★★★★ Broadway Baby

He may not be able to talk but he definitely has something to say and his comedy will leave you speechless.

“SAVAGELY FUNNY…HE’S A BLOODY GOOD COMEDIAN.” ★★★★ The Wee Review

Lee is the first stand-up comedian to use a communication aid. He made his first stand-up performance in February 2012 and now gigs all over the country. In 2013 Lee took his first ever solo show to the Edinburgh Fringe and has performed a show there every year since. He has also performed at the Brighton Fringe, Glasgow International Comedy Festival, Leicester Comedy Festival, Nottingham Comedy Festival and Liverpool Comedy Festival.

As well as winning Britain’s Got Talent 2018, Lee won the BBC New Comedy Award in 2014 and his broadcast credits have included The One Show (BBC One), This Morning, Lorraine (both ITV), Voice Of The People (BBC Three) and BBC At The Edinburgh Festivals (BBC iPlayer).

Lee has performed for a range of charities and organisations including Barclays, Scope and The Royal College of Nurses. He is also a patron of Smile For Life, Find A Voice, Communication Matters and The Sequal Trust.
He has also supported Patrick Kielty and Ross Noble on tour and his Radio 4 sitcom, Ability (starring Lee, and written by Lee and Katherine Jakeways) has just been recommissioned for a second series following the success of the first series which was transmitted earlier this year.
