Lost Voice Guy (Foundry)

Lost Voice Guy is coming to Foundry on Thursday 29 April 2027, bringing his new stand-up show The Cerebral Palsy Puppet to Sheffield. If you've come across him before, you'll know he made history as the first comedian to win Britain's Got Talent, and he's been well-travelled since then: Live at the Apollo, The Last Leg, and the Royal Variety Performance are all on his CV, and he's written and starred in his own Radio 4 sitcom, Ability.

He's a Geordie living with cerebral palsy, and he leans into both identities in his act. The reviews have been kind: The Guardian gave him five stars and called him funny, personal, occasionally shocking and frequently mischievous; The Times gave him four, saying he sharply deals with misconceptions about his disability; and The Independent described the work as stimulating, moving and amusing. The Cerebral Palsy Puppet is the new show he's taking on the road.

It's an evening for ages 14 and over, and under-16s need to be accompanied by an adult. The show runs from 18:30 to 22:30 at Foundry, which is part of the Sheffield Students' Union on Western Bank, South Yorkshire S10 2TG. Tickets are £24.65.
