Birmingham Comedy Festival – Breaking Talent Award 2022 Nominee – Lovell Smith

Birmingham “born and raised,” but now living in Dudley, Lovell Smith is a graduate of James Cook’s comedy course, first performing in public at the end-of-course showcase, at the Hare And Hounds, in mid-2019. With a style that’s “self-deprecating with observations on everyday life,” Lovell’s already appeared with such notable acts as Nathan Caton and Guz Khan. Currently between jobs, (“technically that makes me a full time comedian,” he smiles), he’s a big fan of Joe Lycett and Black Country comic Darren Harriot.

“In an industry which is heavily based on location [and] usually being in London, those two are proud Brummies that are doing really well,” he says.

Lovell is fast becoming one of the hottest new acts on the comedy scene. Despite only starting comedy in 2019. His fresh and unique approach on observations on life as a millennial, covering everything from dating disasters to the banality of working life in the 21st century.
