George Rigden is one of the most exciting new musical comedians to emerge in recent times. Since breaking out as a finalist in a host of prestigious new act competitions within his first year (including being nominated for the Leicester Mercury Comedian of the year), George now regularly performs for all the country’s leading comedy clubs and at the Edinburgh Fringe festival, drawing significant acclaim and was recently nominated for Best Musical Comedy Show at Leicester Comedy Festival.

Rigden is the result of a genetic mash-up between Mitch Benn and Tim Key, perhaps with a few strands of Ricky Gervais’s DNA thrown in… Very Funny Stuff.
