frequently asked questions

Something we've not covered here?

How do I book Aisling Bea for my next event?

Email aisling.bea@getapeptalk.com or call PepTalk on +44 20 3835 2929 (UK) or +1 737 888 5112 (US), and one of our speaker agents will contact you within hours to confirm Aisling's availability and fees. If you can, please include your budget upfront – it helps us fast-track your request. It’s also helpful to know the date, format (virtual or in-person), location, and a bit about your audience.

What is Aisling Bea's stage presence like?

Aisling Bea performs stand-up comedy drawn from her own life experience, a style evidenced by her Netflix stand-up special and her semi-autobiographical series This Way Up, which she wrote, produced, and starred in. Her live format is rooted in personal narrative, developed through years of circuit work that began when she won the So You Think You're Funny? competition in 2011.

What topics does Aisling Bea specialise in?

Aisling Bea performs stand-up comedy and suits panel show, after-dinner, and live entertainment formats, with television hosting and awards appearances across BBC, Channel 4, and international platforms. She won the British Comedy Award for Best Female Comedian and the BAFTA TV Craft Award for Breakthrough Talent for writing, producing, and starring in her series This Way Up.

Does PepTalk charge a booking fee?

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.

What happens after I send a brief?

Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.

What does the typical fee range mean?

The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.

Have all the speakers on the website worked with PepTalk before?

Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.

How far in advance should I book a speaker?

Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
