How groundbreaking disabled-led arts festival is going out with a bang
Yorkshire Evening Post
|March 03, 2026
In 2018, Sam Judd sat in front of his television and watched Lost Voice Guy win Britain's Got Talent.
The Final You Can Laugh You Know team. From left, Sam Judd, one of the organisers promoting the event with performer, Adam Bang.
For Sam, who uses a wheelchair and an electronic communication aid (AAC) like the comedian, it was a lightning-bolt moment.
"I felt this tremendous sense of pride," Sam recalls. "Seeing his performance showed me just what I could achieve."
Fast forward to 2026, and Sam is the producer behind You Can Laugh You Know, a Leeds-based organisation that has spent the last three years proving that disability is not a limitation, but a lens for world-class creativity.
On April 4, the team will take over Archive in Kirkstall for their 20th and final festival, a star-studded farewell headlined by the very man who inspired it all: Lost Voice Guy.
