Desiree Burch
Engage your audience with humour and charm through the unique perspective of Desiree Burch, speaker, comedian, and entertainer.
Desiree Burch is a New York-born, London-based comedian, entertainer, and host known for her sharp wit and easy command of a room. She's built a reputation on some of British television's best-loved comedy and panel shows.
Desiree has hosted Live At The Apollo, competed on Taskmaster, and appeared on Have I Got News For You, QI, and Mock The Week. She voices a lead role in Netflix's Too Hot To Handle and co-hosted the Netflix show Flinch. Her 2019 UK tour, Desiree's Coming Early, sold out, and she won the Funny Women Award in 2015.
That run of appearances has sharpened Desiree's instinct for reading an audience and turning a room in seconds, whether she's fronting a show, trading lines with fellow comedians, or holding her own as a guest. It's a versatility that comes from genuine stage time rather than a single format, and it shows in how comfortably she moves between hosting, competing, and performing.
Audiences leave having laughed hard and watched a masterclass in timing and crowd work, with Desiree's instinct for a room offering a lesson in presence that lands well beyond comedy circles. Book Desiree for an evening of fearless, fast-moving comedy that keeps a room on side and talking long after.

Something we've not covered here?
To book Desiree Burch, email desiree.burch@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 Desiree's availability and speaking fee. 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 about your audience.
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.
