Biography

Ross Smith is a multi-talented comedian, actor, and MC, known for his quick wit, sharp humor, and engaging storytelling. A standout performer at the Edinburgh Festival, Ross made waves with his debut solo show, I Am Ross Smith, inspired by his viral adventure where he went on holiday with strangers in place of another man named Ross Smith. The show garnered critical acclaim and was a highlight of the festival. He followed up the next year with another sellout show Crying Shame which featured two of  Dave’s Top Ten Jokes of the Fringe, cementing his status as one of the most exciting emerging voices in comedy.

In addition to his stand-up, Ross has showcased his versatility in the acting world, appearing in the Apple TV series Slow Horses, and Karl Pilkington’s sitcom Sick of it . Ross is a regular performer at many London clubs including a semi residency at Banana Cabaret, a staple of the London comedy scene, where his quick wit and natural charisma keep audiences laughing week after week.

As an MC, Ross is a sought-after host for events, known for his ability to engage and entertain crowds with ease. His talents also extend behind the scenes, where he has worked as a director and writer, further honing his creative skills. Whether on stage, in front of the camera, or behind it, Ross Smith continues to build a reputation for his exceptional talent, quick wit, and unique perspective.
