Troy Hawke's biography

At a glance

  • Character-driven stand-up comedian
  • Known for unique 1930s persona
  • Acclaimed for tackling complex topics humorously
Troy Hawke, better known to his mother as Milo McCabe, is a prominent stand-up comedian and entertainer recognised for his character-driven comedy. He has been active in the comedy scene for over a decade and has gained considerable acclaim. Troy's journey into comedy began unexpectedly while he was in a cover band. To save costs, he started MCing at a monthly comedy night, which sparked his passion for the craft. His father, a comedian, also influenced his decision to pursue this career. He is well-known for his 1930s-inspired character, complete with a distinctive moustache. This educated and homeschooled persona offers a unique perspective on contemporary issues, tackling complex topics with humour. His hit show "Sigmund Troy'd" explores psychotherapy and self-care through an unconventional lens, blending real-world interactions with Scrabble-based conspiracy theories. His performances have received widespread acclaim. He won Best Show at the Leicester Comedy Festival Awards and has been nominated for the Amused Moose Best Edinburgh Show Awards. "Sigmund Troy'd!" was featured in GQ's Top Ten Comedy Shows at the Edinburgh Festival and ranked among the Top 40 Best Reviewed Comedy Shows. He also secured the Perth Weekly Comedy Award for two consecutive years. Troy has appeared on notable television programmes, including ITV's "This Morning" and "The Russell Howard Hour" on SKY Max. His ability to address complex issues with humour has made him a standout performer, effectively engaging audiences. He continues to tour extensively, with his shows regularly selling out. Active on social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and Facebook, he connects with fans and shares his work. His latest tour, "Sigmund Troy'd," has been a significant success, showcasing his talent for captivating audiences with his distinctive humour.

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.
