Lee Ridley is a comedian with a difference. He has cerebral palsy and as a result, isn't able to speak. He has to tell his jokes through a communication aid - rather like the one used by the scientist Professor Stephen Hawking. Speaking to Outlook's Joel Cox from his hometown of Newcastle, England, Lee started by telling a story from a time before his comedy took off. Despite having no singing voice, he auditioned for the popular TV talent show The X Factor. Photo: Caroline Briggs.
