Jasmine Ridgeway was a talent scout who appeared at the Rovers Return's talent competition Rovers Got Talent in May 2019.
Jasmine told Kirk Sutherland that she was impressed by his act (under the stage name "El Kirko"), giving Kirk her telephone number and setting up a meeting for the next day. Kirk's wife Beth didn't believe that Jasmine was legit - having scribbled her number on a beermat, and thought that Jasmine was a groupie who fancied Kirk, but he came back from the meeting and excitedly told her that Jasmine had said his songs were "indescribable" - and she wanted to sign him up for a six-week tour of Pontins. In an attempt to appease Beth, he handed her a business card that Jasmine had given him, but curiosity got the better of her when she saw "Mirthmaker" on the front of it. Having asked Jenny Connor what "mirth" meant, she quickly discovered that Jasmine didn't want Kirk on tour due to his exceptional singing talent; it was a comedy tour that she had scouted Kirk for!
