One of the few comedians able to work in both “mainstream” and “alternative” environments, Lea’s comedy is based on traditional Northern humour, but with a more modern approach. Lea appeals to audiences young and old.

With a sporting background in professional rugby league Lea is an obvious, and very popular choice, for sporting functions which has meant Lea becoming a well known face on the after dinner circuit around the the country.

“Comedian Lea Roberts has been on the radar of some of the bigger mainstream comedy bookers for some time. This could be his breakthrough year given the assured look of this very endearing, very funny gag-man. This ex-rugby star is making his mark in comedy now and the finest compliment I can pay Lea is that he doesn’t remind me of anyone else on the current comedy circuit. One to watch!” (The Stage – January 2016)
