Also known as Lee Ridley

Who Lost Voice Guy is

Lost Voice Guy, the stage name of Lee Ridley, is a stand-up comedian who left a career in journalism to take up comedy in 2012, won the BBC New Comedy Award in 2014 and won Britain's Got Talent in 2018. That December he played the Royal Variety Performance on ITV, and he has since appeared on Live at the Apollo and America's Got Talent: The Champions. His debut show, I'm Only In It for the Parking, was filmed live on his sell-out 2019 UK tour, and his first book shares its title. He has also written episodes of the children's series Zog, and in 2026 he was inducted into the first North East Comedy Hall of Fame.
