Ross Smith

Ross Smith is one of the UK’s fastest-rising stand-up comedians, known for his razor-sharp writing, effortless crowd rapport and deceptively relaxed stage presence. A regular at leading comedy clubs across the country, Ross has earned praise from audiences and fellow comics alike for his intelligent, original storytelling and impeccably crafted jokes.

His television credits include appearances in Sick of It (created by Karl Pilkington), Slow Horses (Apple TV+) and Murder Town, alongside a growing list of acting and comedy screen credits.

Joel Dommett calls him “one of my favourite new acts,” while Nish Kumar describes him as “hilarious and original.” Jason Manford has praised his confidence on stage, and Arthur Smith described him as “extremely impressive” with “a great deal of promise.”
