Simon has been a character comedian since 2022. Leslie Bloom is his main creation sometimes she is more in control than him. Who are we kidding, Leslie is the boss. Simon has also started doing stand up as himself (sort of), a venture he continues to explore. Find out more about him and his shenanigans at the about me page.
Extra Topping was Founded in April 2022 by Simon Topping as a place for all comedy outside of traditional stand-up whether that’s sketch, improv, character, physical or musical comedy or anything that is just that little bit different. Extra topping takes place on the 3rd Saturday of every month at The Yellow Book in Brighton.
Leslie Bloom is everyone's friend. Whether you have attend one of her fitness classes, or have been to one of her tarot reading sessions, her infectious good nature always delights and intrigues the audience. She is a sharer and generous to a fault. Her unassuming nature makes her a perfect MC, though truth be told she doesn't actually know what MC stands for... but does anyone?
We asked Leslie why she loves Extra Topping so much ...
