Shazia Mirza is a British stand-up comedian known for turning pointed social observation into fearless, funny commentary on culture, identity, and modern life, built over two decades on stage. Her tour Coconut played more than 100 dates across the UK and was nominated for Best Stand-Up Tour at Channel 4's National Comedy Awards. She co-hosts the podcast Pale, Male and Stale with journalist John Kampfner, and is writing on the Channel 4 sitcom Kisses and Bumflicks.
Shazia's comedy tackles political correctness, cultural identity, and the tensions of modern British life with a directness that opens up conversation rather than shutting it down. Her ability to find humour in divisive subjects helps organisations start discussions that formal training often struggles to reach, turning discomfort into engagement, and giving audiences permission to laugh at the awkward moments that usually go unspoken.
Audiences leave with practical tools for discussing sensitive topics without defensiveness, a clearer sense of how humour can defuse tension in professional settings, and renewed confidence in tackling subjects colleagues often avoid, grounded in real audience reactions rather than rehearsed theory.
Book Shazia Mirza to bring intelligent, fearless comedy that gets audiences talking about the topics that matter.

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.
