Paul Chowdhry is a British stand-up comedian. His previous tour, Live Innit, sold out five nights at the Hammersmith Apollo, making him the first British-Asian comedian to sell out Wembley Arena. The show won Best Live Event at the ITV Asian Media Awards in 2018 and earned him the Comedy Award at the Eastern Eye’s Arts, Culture & Theatre Awards in 2019, along with the Comedian of the Year Award at the Asian Voice Political & Public Life Awards. In 2021, Paul launched his podcast, The Paul Chowdhry PudCast, produced by Global Entertainment. The podcast features interviews with celebrities discussing significant life events, with guests including Greg Davies, Eddie Izzard, and Stewart Lee. As an actor, Paul appeared in the highest-rated episode of Greg Davies’ comedy series The Cleaner and starred alongside Patrick Dempsey in the Sky Atlantic series Devils. He also featured in Disney’s film Cruella. Paul was a contestant on the third series of Taskmaster and frequently appears on The Russell Howard Hour. He has hosted Stand Up for the Week and headlined Live at the Apollo twice. His social media presence is strong, with over 50 million views on his videos. His recent tour, Family-Friendly Comedian, attracted around 80,000 attendees in the UK and included a notable performance in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where he became the first British comedian to perform a solo show. The tour also sold out at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2023, prompting additional shows. Paul is among the UK’s top-selling stand-up comics, having completed several successful tours, starred in films, and released a global Amazon Prime special. His next tour in 2025 will include a performance at the O2 Arena in London, with details to be announced.

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.
