The festival will offer performances at several venues throughout Shrewsbury next July culminating with the gala show. MC for the evening is Scott Bennett, a stand-up comedian and writer who made his debut on Live at the Apollo in 2021 and has also appeared as a regular guest on BBC Radio 4’s The News Quiz, The Now Show, The Likely Dads and Elephant in the Room .
Birmingham based Lindsey Santoro has emerged as one of the most original female voices to come out of the West Midlands. She enjoyed success at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2023, winning Next Up’s Biggest Award in Comedy for the most outstanding show and earned an Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer Nomination for her critically acclaimed debut sell-out show, Pink Tinge. Lindsey made her TV debut on Mel Giedroyc’s: Unforgivable (Dave) and also appeared on Comedy Central Live and The Stand-Up Sketch Show (ITV2).
