Lee Simpson is a British actor and comedian best known as a member of the improvisational group The Comedy Store Players.[1]
He has appeared in a number of roles, including in the sitcom Drop the Dead Donkey and the films Paper Mask and Nuns on the Run, and played a key role in co-devising and narrating the improvisational radio show The Masterson Inheritance in the years 1993-1995. He was involved in Paul Merton Live At The London Palladium in 1994, along with fellow Comedy Store Players Paul Merton and Richard Vranch.[2] Before becoming involved in improvisation, he was, among other things, a croupier in a casino, a cinema projectionist, and a breakfast DJ.[3]
He did his first performance with The Comedy Store Players in 1989, and became a member of the group in 1990.[4] In 1992 he appeared as Terry in the channel 4 sitcom Terry and Julian (not associated with Terry and June although the show's name was a spoof title). The programme only lasted one series which had six episodes.
Simpson has appeared on BBC Radio 4 in the improvised comedy series The Masterson Inheritance and the murder panel show Foul Play. On stage, he appeared in a 2017 production of Lost Without Words at the Royal National Theatre.[5]
