Here is the UK most wanted comedian:

Will Smith is one of the most in-demand stand-up comedians and comedy writers in the UK today. In 2003 he performed his first solo show at the Edinburgh Fringe, WILL SMITH IS MUCH OBLIGED, which proved to be such a hit that he was invited to perform a run in London's West End at the Soho Theatre and was also asked to co-present WIFE FOR WILLIAM for Channel 4.

Will returned to Edinburgh in 2004 with his much acclaimed sell-out show 10 ARGUMENTS I SHOULD HAVE WON which then toured the UK in Spring 2005. Again, his success in Edinburgh led to him being invited to appear at the ROYAL VARIETY PERFORMANCE in 2004, which was broadcast on BBC1, being nominated for THE SOUTH BANK SHOW BREAKTHROUGH ARTIST AWARD 2005 (the only comedian in that category), and being asked to be a regular contributor on BBC3's new topical comedy show COMIC SIDE OF 7 DAYS.

Will's latest show MISPLACED CHILDHOOD, (which uses the 20th anniversary of the Marillion album by the same name as a springboard to examine how childhoods have changed), was another smash hit in Edinburgh. The 2006 tour kicked off with the 6 night run at the Soho Theatre selling out almost as soon as it went on sale. It has also made him a bit of a cult hero amongst Marillion fans!!!

Will's other TV credits include CH4's BACK IN THE DAY, CH4's 11 O'CLOCK SHOW, CH4's GAS, Five's COMEDY NETWORK, BBC2's HAPPINESS, BBC1's THE STAND UP SHOW, Five's THE WRIGHT STUFF, TIME GENTLEMEN PLEASE on SKY, Paramount's £100 IN BRIGHTON and THE WORLD STANDS UP. He is also a regular reporter for CH4's RICHARD & JUDY.
