Simon Benjamin Brodkin is a British comedian recognised for his sharp stand-up performances and inventive character work, blending social commentary with bold, headline-grabbing stunts. Brodkin first gained national attention through his creation of Lee Nelson, a cheeky, working-class persona, and has since expanded his repertoire to include characters like footballer Jason Bent. He is known for high-profile pranks, including showering FIFA’s Sepp Blatter with cash and interrupting Kanye West at Glastonbury, which have been widely covered in the media. His stand-up tour "Screwed Up" earned critical praise and sold-out shows, reflecting his strong connection with audiences. Simon’s comedy dissects current events and social trends, offering organisations a fresh perspective on public figures, celebrity culture, and the absurdities of modern life. His medical background adds a unique analytical edge to his observations, making his insights both relatable and thought-provoking.
