Stephen Mangan's biography

At a glance

  • Acclaimed British stage and television actor
  • Known for roles in Green Wing and Episodes
  • Starred in West End and Broadway productions

Stephen Mangan is an accomplished actor known for his work in theatre and television. He attended Haileybury College and later studied Law at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge University, where he became involved in drama productions. After a gap year in the United States, he realised that acting was his true passion. Following the death of his mother, he auditioned for the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and graduated in 1994.


Mangan initially focused on theatre, believing it offered more creative freedom than film or television. He performed in various regional theatres and gained recognition for his roles in classics like "The Tempest" and "Hamlet." His performances with the Royal Shakespeare Company and Cheek By Jowl earned him a nomination for the Ian Charleson Award.


In 2001, Mangan gained wider recognition for his role in the BBC adaptation of "Adrian Mole: The Cappuccino Years." He later starred as Dr. Guy Secretan in the comedy series "Green Wing," which solidified his status in the industry. Mangan has portrayed self-absorbed characters in films like "Festival" and "Confetti," enjoying the spontaneity of improvised performances.


His stage work includes a praised revival of Alan Ayckbourn's "The Norman Conquests" at the Old Vic Theatre, which he later took to Broadway. He has also starred in productions such as "Jeeves and Wooster" and "Rules for Living" at the National Theatre.


Mangan's television credits include co-starring in "Episodes" alongside Matt LeBlanc and Tamsin Greig and portraying Tony Blair in "The Hunt for Tony Blair." He also starred in the BBC4 series "Dirk Gently." Currently, he is involved in the series "Houdini and Doyle," which explores the partnership between Arthur Conan Doyle and Harry Houdini.

Does PepTalk charge a booking fee?

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.

What happens after I send a brief?

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.

What does the typical fee range mean?

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.

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

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.

How far in advance should I book a speaker?

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.
