Explore the art of connecting with audiences through humour and storytelling with Stuart Goldsmith, speaker, comedian, and podcaster.
Stuart Goldsmith is a comedian, podcaster, and actor. Born in Leamington Spa in 1977, he developed his performance skills in street theatre and circus training at Circomedia. He gained recognition as part of the comedy duo Kiosk of Champions with Richard Sandling.
In 2012, Goldsmith launched The Comedian's Comedian podcast, where he interviews fellow comedians, sharing their insights with a broader audience. His stand-up career has received acclaim, particularly for his shows "The Reasonable Man" in 2010 and "Another Lovely Crisis" in 2011 at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
Goldsmith has also acted in various TV shows, including "Mission: 2110," "As Yet Untitled with Alan Davies," and "The Dog Ate My Homework." He has appeared on Russell Howard's Stand Up Central and performed in the 2016 Edinburgh Festival Fringe show "Compared to What."
Despite his achievements, Goldsmith remains grounded, reflecting on his early days as a street performer. He highlights the significance of attracting crowds during off-peak hours, stating, "If you can draw in the crowd at 9.45am in Covent Garden, it teaches you to be funny." His ability to find humour in everyday situations and connect with his audience has garnered him a loyal following and critical acclaim.

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.
