  • Santoro's "life can get messy, her observations are frank but her self-awareness and direct approach will have you roaring with laughter" say producers

Lindsey Santoro has landed her debut Radio 4 series, sharing extracts from her diary, British Comedy Guide can exclusively reveal.

The Birmingham comic is recording The Lively Life Of Lindsey Santoro in her home city in December.

The premise of the four-part series is that she still keeps a journal, "but she's not 13 years old daydreaming about her latest crush and sleepover plans."

Rather, she's "a 37-year-old working class, no-nonsense Brummie, whose days are more likely to involve thrush cream and a bargy with a bus driver."

Promising to be "loud, real, relatable and most importantly, infectiously funny", Santoro - who won Next Up's Biggest Award in Comedy at the 2023 Edinburgh Fringe for her debut show Pink Tinge, the title a nod to her distinctive hair colour - will share an excerpt from her journal in each episode.

"Her life can get messy, her observations are frank but her self-awareness and direct approach will have you roaring with laughter" say producers.

Recording at the Glee club in Birmingham on 4th December, free tickets are available via SRO Audiences
