Something Wonderful: The Lost Voice Guy


“You can’t be beaten by something you laugh at.”
Britain's Got Talent is all about finding a one-of-a-kind act and "The Lost Voice Guy" is the epitome of that pursuit.
As soon as he walked on stage and the audience saw his T–shirt with a leaping wheelchair logo and the slogan “I'm only in it for the parking”, comedian Lee Ridley had the judges and the audience cracking up.
The 37-year-old was diagnosed with cerebral palsy when he was six months old. Due to complications resulting from his disability, Ridley has been unable to speak for over 30 years.
He uses an iPad equipped with the text-to-speech app Proloquo2Go to synthesize his voice to deliver his unique stand-up comedy routine.
