Jo Brand
Engage your audience with humour and insight into the world of comedy with Jo Brand, speaker, comedian, actress, and writer.
Jo Brand is a British comedian, actress, and writer known for her sharp wit and distinctive delivery, developed after she left a career as a psychiatric nurse in 1988.
Her television work includes writing and starring in the BAFTA winning sitcom Getting On, hosting The Great British Bake Off An Extra Slice, and regular appearances on Would I Lie to You, QI, and Have I Got News for You. She has also published several bestselling books, including Born Lippy and A Load of Old Balls.
Jo draws on her nursing background to bring genuine insight as well as comedy to her material, giving audiences a rare combination of warmth, honesty, and sharp observation about work, health, and everyday life. Her long-standing support for Comic Relief, including a 140 mile sponsored walk that raised 1.2 million pounds, reflects the same substance behind the laughs.
Audiences can expect an evening of genuinely funny, perceptive storytelling that balances comedy with real insight into health, work, and modern life, leaving them entertained and quietly better informed. Jo's broadcast credentials and instantly recognisable style make her a reliably engaging booking for any event.
Book Jo Brand to bring warmth, wit, and unmistakable honesty to your stage.

Email jo.brand@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 Jo's availability and fees. 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 a bit 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.
