Fiona Allen
Give your event genuine star quality with Fiona Allen, comedian, actress, and Smack the Pony star and writer. Fiona delivers stand-up, after-dinner comedy, and awards hosting, backed by sell-out Edinburgh Fringe shows and UK tour success.
Fiona Allen is an English comedian and actress, best known for starring in and writing the Emmy Award-winning and BAFTA-nominated Channel 4 sketch series Smack the Pony.
Her screen credits span more than two decades of British television, from sketch shows including Goodness Gracious Me and We Know Where You Live to dramas and soaps such as Coronation Street, EastEnders, Skins, Waterloo Road, and Death in Paradise, plus film roles in 24 Hour Party People and Gladiatress.
In 2023, Fiona made the move into stand-up with her debut show On The Run, which sold out at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe before a UK tour that sold out in most venues. Her sassy, anecdotal style draws on the frustrations of life with her husband and three kids, and her need to get out of the house and away from them.
Now a regular headliner at clubs across the UK, including Headliners, The Comedy Cellar, and Off The Kerb nights, Fiona is warm but fearless on stage, with relatable material that suits after-dinner sets, awards hosting, and corporate entertainment.
Book Fiona for a proven comic with mainstream recognition who reliably fills and holds a room.
Fiona Allen is a twice Emmy Award-winning comedian whose sharp, character-driven humour draws on the universal pressures of work, family, and identity in ways that resonate instantly with audiences. Book Fiona for your next event and give your team an evening of warm, honest comedy from one of the UK's most accomplished performers.

Something we've not covered here?
To book Fiona Allen, email fiona.allen@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 Fiona'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.
