Seeta Wrightson is a stand-up comedian and writer from Bradford, living in Leeds.
A BBC new comedy awards, semi-finalist, Seeta travels the length and breadth of the country using her high energy comedy style and cleverly crafted jokes to tell stories of her mixed heritage, working class upbringing and offbeat observations. She supported Kiri Pritchard-McClean on her Peacock tour.
In 2025 Seeta was one of the winners of the BBC Sponsored Female Pilot Club for her pilot sitcom script. Following on from that win, she was invited to comedy writer rooms alongside Bafta winning writers. In 2025, she was also commissioned to co-write her debut play for Red Ladder Theatre, which toured in November and December 2025.
Seeta turned her hand to voice acting with five different roles in a BBC Radio play to celebrate Bradford’s 2025 City of Culture and has a small role in a Channel 4 sketch, which will be broadcast in 2026.
A regular on panels talks for awareness days, corporate events and on BBC radio as an interviewee or guest, Seeta is also a co-host of Love In’t North Podcast, with Jack Carroll and Pete Selwood.
As an advocate of diverse comedy, Seeta facilitates comedy workshops to support more global majority women into comedy, with Bradford University.
Recent testimonial
Thank you so much for recommending Seeta for our International Women’s Day comedy lunch. She was absolutely spot on – everyone really enjoyed her set – she aimed her material perfectly. Little bit saucy, little bit irreverent – lots of laughter.
Everyone here is having quite a difficult week, given the current global news, which is affecting some members of our staff very personally. The comedy at lunch time was the perfect antidote to that and Seeta smashed it.
