Lee Ridley AKA 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. He has built a reputation for being both hilarious and entirely unique, and has been described as “a wonderful comedian” by Little Britain’s Matt Lucas.

Lost Voice Guy won the BBC New Comedy Award in 2014 and this summer clinched the prestigious title on Britain's Got Talent in 2018. He was the first comedian ever to win the show, and when he took the stage, he delivered one of the funniest stand-up routines the show has ever seen.

The Newcastle comedian, whose cerebral palsy affects his ability to speak, is the first stand-up comic to use a communication aid. Right from the start of the ITV competition, which is the network's highest-rated entertainment show, Lost Voice Guy impressed and entertained with his comedy routines, spoken entirely through an iPad app. To perform, Ridley uses a speech synthesizer on which he programs his material before selecting specific lines based on audience reaction.

While disability and living with cerebral palsy are central themes to his act, Ridley’s stand-up covers a range of topics from roasting the political establishment to the country’s welfare system. He has performed in a corporate setting for Barclays, The Royal College of Nursing, Exeter University, Leeds Jewish Welfare Board, The Royal College of Occupational Therapists, the BBC (internal), Scope, Motability, Communication Matters, and several branches of the NHS.

Lee has told jokes and given motivational speeches for a range of charities and organizations including Barclays, Scope, and The Royal College of Nursing. He is also a patron of Smile For Life, Find A Voice, Communication Matters, and The Sequal Trust.
