MC SCOTT BENNETT
A stand-up comedian and writer who is ‘without doubt live comedy’s best kept secret’ according to The Evening Standard newspaper. He 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 with Sarah Millican. During the lockdown of 2020, Scott pioneered the viral hit, Stand up from the Shed, a weekly topical live-streamed stand up show from his actual garden shed. The show achieved national coverage in the press, Sky News, BBC News and Five Live. Scott’s tour dates sell out almost as soon as they go on sale and he is a firm favourite with audiences at SICF.
LINDSEY SANTORO
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. Naturally effusive and full of giddy joy, Lindsey made her TV debut on Mel Giedroyc’s: Unforgivable (Dave), Comedy Central Live and The Stand-Up Sketch Show (ITV2). Other credits include Channels 4’s The Joy of Missing Out and The Elephant in the Room with Sarah Millican on BBC Radio 4. Lindsey has been named on several ones-to-watch comedy lists.
Further acts to be announced soon.
