Andy Parsons
Engage your audience with humor and insight into current affairs with Andy Parsons, speaker, comedian, and political satirist.
Andy Parsons is a prominent British comedian. As a key member of London's Comedy Store Cutting Edge team and a former regular on Mock the Week, he has established himself as a prolific performer.
His career began with Spitting Image, where he became a main writer, leading to various television opportunities. He has appeared on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Two's Never Write Off the Germans, and has been involved in multiple series of Parsons & Naylor's Pull-Out Sections.
After nine series on Mock the Week, Andy left the show in 2015, advocating for a female comedian to take his place. He performs regularly across the UK and is a familiar face at major comedy festivals, including Edinburgh, Melbourne, Sydney, and Adelaide. His solo shows have garnered acclaim from both audiences and critics.
In 2015, Andy founded the Slackivist campaign group, which brings together MPs, journalists, and comedians to discuss current affairs, often ending with a visit to the bar. This initiative reflects his engaging comedic style and commitment to political issues.
Andy’s blend of humour and relevance makes him an excellent choice for corporate events.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
