Lee Nelson to perform at Brierley Hill Civic Hall
TV comic Lee Nelson is to headline the next big comedy night at Brierley Hill Civic Hall later this year.
Lee, a character created by 40-year-old London comedian Simon Brodkin, is best known for his two BBC series, Lee Nelson’s Well Good Show and Lee Nelson’s Well Funny People.
Simon has hit the headlines for a number of high-profile stunts over the past couple of years. They include handing Prime Minister Theresa May a P45 at the Tory party conference, and fooling Simon Cowell during a live audition for Britain’s Got Talent dressed as a Jewish orthodox rapper.
Lee will be supported by Dane Baptiste, who has also appeared on Live At The Apollo as well as Mock The Week and 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, and Adam Rowe, a young comic from Liverpool.
The night will be hosted by Dudley comic Wayne Beese, who said: “We’re really excited about this line-up and this show.
“Lee Nelson is one of the most recognisable and highly-sought after acts in the country, so we feel it’s a real coup to be able to bring him to the Civic and an indication we’re building a good reputation on the circuit.
“He is a quite brilliant live act, with some of the best audience interaction and quick wit you will see.
“In Dane and Adam, we’ve got two of the best young comics in the country supporting him. They’re both excellent and you will see a lot more of them in the coming years.
“Tickets are on sale now and are already starting to move, so we’d urge people to get in quick.”
