Vegan and all-round entertainer Mike Kelson is a comedy writer and performer, actor and singer, and will be hosting this year’s Comedy after taking the reins at Brighton, Bristol and London Vegfests along with a number of music and comedy festivals in the south of England over the last three years.

A regular performer on the circuit and on radio, his cheeky stories and one-liners have been described as ‘subtle as a brick’ and his quips ‘as quick as a wink’. He is however often upstaged by his dog, Harry, which is why he has vowed you’ll never see them performing together live.
