Join us for this annual celebration of Linda Smith, each year lead by a well know name from the comedy world.
The Linda Smith Lecture was established in 2015 as an annual event to celebrate the much-missed comedian’s life and work, and to reflect on the comedy business.
Previous speakers include Mark Thomas, Barry Cryer, Jo Brand, Angela Barnes, Henry Normal (pic) and Jan Ravens – making serious points while also being extremely funny.
