Simon Evans Keynote Speaker

Simon Evans is one of the most popular stand-up comedians in Britain. He is currently selling out venues on his current UK tour, following last year’s hugely successful tour and a string of sell out Edinburgh Festival shows.

Simon has starred in BBC1’s Live at the Apollo, C4’s Stand Up For The Week and his own BBC Radio 4 series “Simon Evans Goes To Market”. Simon Evans’ first ever stand-up DVD, “Simon Evans: Live At The Theatre Royal”, is a master class in aloof, patrician observational stand up. To the delight of a packed audience, Simon brings a little polish to the Theatre Royal Brighton, as he looks back at his life and times, from his early days in London to his family life by the seaside. Along the way, his reflections are as ever as dry and delicious as a good Sancerre, or perhaps a really good radish.

Simon’s comedy series “Simon Evans Goes To Market” recently transmitted on BBC Radio 4 and has just been re-commissioned for a second series.  In this highly acclaimed show he explores the economics of specific global markets, their history and their importance on our lives: gold, land, oil and grain.
