Dominic Holland
Bring genuine laughs to any event with Dominic Holland, Perrier Award-winning comedian, after dinner speaker, and awards host. Dominic delivers sharp observational comedy on family, fame, and being eclipsed by his son, Spider-Man star Tom Holland.
Dominic Holland is an award-winning stand-up comedian, the author of ten books, and a familiar face and voice across British television and radio. He is also, as he cheerfully admits, best known as Tom Holland's dad.
Dominic won the Perrier Best Newcomer Award at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1993 and earned a Perrier Award nomination in 1996. He has written and performed four BBC Radio 4 series, including the Comic Heritage Award-winning The Small World of Dominic Holland, and his television credits include Have I Got News for You, The Royal Variety Performance, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, and They Think It's All Over. The Sunday Times has called him the UK's master of observational comedy. Then his eldest son became Spider-Man.
Dominic turned the experience of being comprehensively out-starred by his own child into his bestselling book Eclipsed, and it has become a rich seam of material on family, fame, and keeping your feet on the ground while your son swings between skyscrapers.
Offstage, Dominic is a polished awards host, conference host, and after-dinner speaker who has written keynote speeches for CEOs and comedy material for names including Bob Monkhouse, Harry Enfield, and Lenny Henry. He also co-founded The Brothers Trust, the Holland family charity supporting causes worldwide.
Whether headlining a comedy club, hosting a corporate event, or delivering after-dinner entertainment, Dominic Holland brings craft, warmth, and genuine comic intelligence to every room he enters.

Dominic Holland draws on autobiographical material — centred on his family life and the experience of being overshadowed by his son Tom Holland's rise to global fame as Spider-Man — to build observational stand-up sets and after-dinner speeches. This narrative thread, documented in his memoir Eclipsed, gives his performances a structured personal arc that moves between self-deprecating humour and grounded reflection on fame and family.
Dominic Holland performs stand-up, awards hosting, conference hosting, and after-dinner speaking, with material centred on observational comedy, family, and fame, suiting corporate events, comedy clubs, and formal dinners. He won the Perrier Best Newcomer Award at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1993 and has written and performed four BBC Radio 4 series, with television credits including Have I Got News for You and The Royal Variety Performance.
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.
