Jake Lambert's biography

At a glance

  • Stand-up Comedian with Unique Storytelling Style
  • Writer for Popular TV Shows and Programs
  • Advocate for Epilepsy Awareness through Comedy
Jake Lambert is a British comedian known for his blend of humour and personal storytelling. He has lived with epilepsy for over 13 years, a condition he openly discusses in his work. Despite the challenges of his diagnosis, he has built a successful career in comedy. Jake began his journey by writing jokes on Twitter, where his one-liners gained attention. This led to his first stand-up gig in London, which was well-received. He entered the BBC New Comedy Award in 2015, reaching the semi-finals, and was subsequently signed by an agent who manages notable comedians, helping to advance his career. He has performed stand-up globally, supporting well-known acts like Michael McIntyre and Romesh Ranganathan. His storytelling style has featured on various TV shows, including The Royal Variety Performance and Michael McIntyre's Big Show. He has also contributed to programmes like Mock the Week and 8 Out of 10 Cats. Jake's debut at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2018 was a sell-out, with critics predicting a bright future for him. His 2022 show, "Liminal," received high praise, further establishing his reputation in the comedy scene. His personal life significantly influences his comedy. He has shared experiences related to his sister's epilepsy, which helped him come to terms with his own condition. Although he once considered a career in law enforcement, his passion for comedy has led him to become a promising figure in the industry. Jake's online videos have amassed over 100 million views, demonstrating his ability to connect with audiences. His upcoming Edinburgh Festival show, "Shimmy Shake," will focus on his experiences with epilepsy, aiming to share his story through humour. With his talent and unique perspective, Jake Lambert is a comedian to watch in the future.

Can PepTalk help plan the speaker programme for my event?

Yes. Beyond booking a single speaker, PepTalk helps shape a full programme, matching voices to your agenda, audience, and goals across a day or a series. It is a consultative service, not just a booking. Tell us about your event at getapeptalk.com.

What does 'typical fee range' mean?

Speaker fees vary based on factors like event location, format, and availability. The 'typical fee range' figure gives you a baseline of someone's local, in-person rate sits, and we'll confirm the exact fee when you get in touch.

What logistics should I prepare before my speakers arrive?

Before your speakers arrive, confirm AV is tested, a green room is ready, and printed schedules are on hand. Prepare warm introductions for each speaker and brief your team on timings. PepTalk speakers come fully briefed, making event-day logistics smoother and stress-free from the start.

What's the difference between a keynote speaker, an MC, and event entertainment?

A keynote speaker delivers an inspiring or informative talk. An MC hosts and guides the event, keeping things on track. Entertainment — like a band or comedian — creates atmosphere and fun. Each serves a different purpose, and PepTalk can help you book the right talent for all three.

What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule a speaker booking?

Life happens! Most speaker bookings can be rescheduled with reasonable notice. Cancellation terms vary by speaker, but PepTalk handles all the details & contracts transparently upfront so there are no surprises. Our team supports you through any changes, making the process as smooth as possible.

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

Not necessarily. While the speakers listed on our website may not have worked with PepTalk in the past, they are recognized professionals in the industry and known to engage in similar events and engagements. Alongside direct talent, we work with a wide variety of speaker agents and talent agencies, to ensure we have the best selection of speakers, hosts, comedians and entertainers available.

What information do I need to provide when booking a comedian?

When booking a comedian, share your event format, audience size and demographics, any sensitive topics to avoid, and the tone you're after. PepTalk makes this easy — their booking process guides you through a simple checklist so nothing gets missed and your comedian is perfectly matched to your crowd.

What information do I need to provide when booking a speaker?

When booking a speaker, you'll need your event date, audience details, format, key objectives, and budget. Having these ready makes the process smooth and straightforward. PepTalk's team uses this information to match you with the perfect speaker quickly and efficiently.

Can I book entertainment and speakers as a package?

Yes! At PepTalk, you can absolutely bundle entertainment and speakers into one seamless package. It's a great way to create a fuller event experience while enjoying simplified booking and better value. Our team handles everything together, making the process effortless for you.

Can I request autographs, personal greetings, signed merchandise, or fan mail from the speakers?

Sorry, we do not accept requests for autographs, signed merchandise, fan mail, or any non-commercial contact with the speakers, comedians or entertainers.

How can I report an issue or make changes to an expert profile?

If you notice something that needs attention or have any queries regarding an expert speaker profile, please email us at experts@getapeptalk.com, and we’ll be happy to assist.

How far in advance should I book a motivational speaker?

Book a motivational speaker at least 3–6 months in advance, especially for popular speakers or large events. Top speakers get booked quickly, so earlier is always better. For major conferences or peak seasons, booking 12 months ahead ensures you secure your first choice.

Help, I need a last-minute speaker for my event!

No problem! We often handle last-minute requests and can secure or replace a speaker, comedian, awards or event host quickly — almost anywhere in the world. However, speaker availability might be limited as the event date approaches. Email hello@getapeptalk.com with your requirements.
