Stuart Goldsmith

Stuart Goldsmith is an internationally award-winning comedian, with a reputation for smart, accessible comedy.  His enthusiasm and charm conceal a quick wit, honed by a youth gloriously misspent as a street-performer.

He's an "expert stand-up" (Sunday Times), a Malcolm Hardee Award winner, and a triple Chortle Award nominee.

A dab hand with a one-liner, he excels in sculpting deft vignettes about love, romance and the downside of getting what you want.  He's also pretentious.
