SIMON BRODKIN

Named “the world’s most famous blagger” by The Daily Telegraph, unnameable prankster and acclaimed character comedian Simon Brodkin has hit global headlines multiple times for his high-profile stunts. Most famously he handed Prime Minister Theresa May a P45 form during her keynote speech at the Conservative Party Conference and showered disgraced FIFA president Sepp Blatter with hundreds of dollar bills in bribe payments “for the North Korea 2026 World Cup bid”. Of his many characters, Simon is best known for his irrepressible, south London wide boy Lee Nelson.“This is satire so sharp you could slash a tyre with it”The Daily Telegraph“As comic inventions go, Simon Brodkin’s south London council estate geezer Lee Nelson is up with the best.”The Daily Telegraph “Comedy legend”The Sun “The guy has a gift” The Washington Post “Never less than ingenious”The Times “The hottest creation since Ali G and Vicky Pollard.”The Daily Mirror
