Lindsey Santoro
Lindsey Santoro still keeps a diary. But she’s not 13 years old daydreaming about her latest crush and sleepover plans. She is a 37-year-old working class, no-nonsense Brummy, whose days are more likely to involve thrush cream and a bargy with a bus driver. She is loud, real, relatable and most importantly, infectiously funny. Her life can get messy, her observations are frank but her self-awareness and direct approach will have you roaring with laughter, as she shares excerpts of her journal across four different entries.
Since appearing as part of Best in Class in 2018, Lindsey has made numerous appearances across TV, radio and podcasts, including Comedy Central Live and Sarah Millican’s Elephant in the Room & Fresh From The Fringe (BBC Radio 4). She has recently supported Joe Lycett on tour including support at Wembley Arena. Other accolades include 2021 Finalist at the British Comedian of the Year.
