The line-up has been announced for 2018's Leicester Comedy Festival Silver Stand-Up Final.

The first Silver Stand Up competition – for over 55s – was won by Shelley Bridgman who continues to gig regularly across the UK and was a founder member of the Trans Comedy Award, working with BBC writers to develop scripts that portray funny and positive representations of the trans community. The winning script, Boy Meets Girl, aired on BBC Two in 2015, to critical acclaim.
