Prestwich’s Premier Joke-Slinger.

Lewis, who is also known as Big Lou, is a well known face on the comedy scene who has a commanding stage presence matched by his punchlines and timing of their delivery.

He’s not just a comic; he’s a local legend. Lou’s been tearing up the circuit for over a decade, holding his own on line-ups with some of the UK’s sharpest acts. Whether he’s hosting a sold-out night at ICONS in Prestwich or warming up a Blackpool ballroom, the rule’s the same: he brings the laughs — and then some.

What’s Big Lou About?

• Rapid-fire punchlines with a distinctly Northern edge
• Radio regular, bringing banter to both the stage and the FM airwaves
• Resident compère of Prestwich Comedy’s First Sundays — your monthly fix of top-tier talent and low-effort pints
• Comedy for all occasions, from clubs to corporates to “can-you-do-my-wedding-please” gigs

Not only has Lewis been a regular face on the comedy circuit but he has also been a regular voice on the radio, starting back in 2011 with his cult show The Keenan & L Show on Wythenshawe FM which ran until 2012. Lewis was also the voice of another show on Wythenshawe FM called Big Lou’s Theme Time Radio and has been a regular voice on FAB Radio, Revolution FM, BBC Radio Manchester & BBC Radio Lancashire.

Testimonials

Big Lou was on the first ever Manfords Comedy Club Night and he was there because we thought he’d smash it. He did!

Manford’s Comedy Club

Big Lou took the time to understand what we wanted, it was important to him to look and act in the right way to a room full of business people. He reacted well to a new idea we had on the day, our audience loved him and ultimately, which was the whole point of his presence, was very very funny.

The Vibe

Big Lou’s set is like a pint with your funniest mate — if your mate had tighter timing and better punchlines. He works a crowd like he’s known you for years, delivering gags with warmth, cheek and a raised eyebrow that says, “You’re not getting out of here without laughing.”
