Ed Byrne is a well-known stand-up comedian whose career began at Strathclyde University. As a student welfare officer, he frequently MC'd events, which led to performances at other universities across Scotland. He eventually left his studies to establish a small comedy club in Glasgow. Moving to London, he started anew, performing at open spots and short sets on the club circuit, refining his material and developing his distinctive persona.

Over two decades, Ed has achieved significant success in the UK and Ireland, with sold-out tours and numerous performances at the Edinburgh Fringe. He has also had a successful run in the West End and appeared across various media platforms, including radio, television, and film. Notable highlights include sell-out shows at Dublin's Gaiety and Olympia theatres, a Perrier Award nomination for "A Night at the Opera," and leading roles in productions like "King of the Road." His show "Standing Up and Falling Down" was the top-selling comedy show at the 2006 Edinburgh Fringe, and he has released three DVDs: "Pedantic and Whimsical," "Different Class," and "Crowd Pleaser."

Ed has built a substantial international following, performing to full houses in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Belgium, and more. In Canada, he has appeared at the Just for Laughs festival in Montreal, hosting a gala in 2006 and touring with the festival in 2008. In the US, he has performed at the US Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen and in top comedy clubs in New York and Los Angeles, including five appearances on NBC's "Late Night With Conan O'Brien."

In the UK and Ireland, Ed is a familiar face on television and radio, featuring on shows like "The Unbelievable Truth," "Mock the Week," and "Have I Got News for You," as well as making memorable appearances on "The Graham Norton Show."

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. 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.

Can I request a speaker to send a personal greeting?

We do not accommodate requests for birthday messages or any other personal, non-commercial contact with the speakers, comedians or entertainers.

How much do speakers and comedians cost?

We work with speakers across a variety of fee ranges, giving you the flexibility to choose someone who fits your event's needs. Virtual keynote fees in the UK and Europe typically start at £2,000, while in-person top-tier speakers can reach £25,000. In the US, virtual in-person fees range from $5,000 to over $100,000, depending on the speaker and format, such as after-dinner talks, conference keynotes, Q&As, or podcasts. Comedians generally start at £1,500 or $2,000 for a 20-minute set.

Our goal is to help you find the speaker who best matches your event’s goals and budget. We take the time to understand your event, objectives, and audience to recommend the right fit. The most expensive option isn’t always the best one, and our priority is finding the ideal speaker or expert for your needs; not the highest-priced one.
