Our in-house agency, MPW Management, is the only UK agency that specialise in international talent. We discover the best talent worldwide and bring them to UK and international audiences. We secure a wide range of TV, radio, film and stage work for our artists including several Netflix specials and Live at the Apollo shows, as well as major TV & radio panel shows, scripted shows and podcasts. We also work closely with a global network of prestigious comedy festivals. MPW Management nurture and develop a diverse roster of comedians at all stages of their careers.
