Wes Defoe
@wesdefoe
As seen on the ITV sketch show 'Say! Less!', Wes Defoe Grew up in the glitz & gloom of Essex. His sheltered religious upbringing has bestowed upon him a refreshingly unconventional lens through which he views the world; a perspective he charismatically weaves into his dynamic comedic performances.
As well as being a writer for the ITV comedy panel show 'Sorry I Didn't Know', Wes is also the winner of the prestigious Comedy Virgins Max Turner Prize Competition 2024 & WeAre8 Comedy Fest. He's also a runner-up in Komedia New Comedy Awards 2025 as well as a semi-finalist in 'So You Think You're Funny?' 2024 and 'Leicester Square New Comedian of the Year' 2026.
