Jamali MaddixAcclaimed Stand-up Comedian and Compelling Documentary Presenter

Jamali Maddix stands out as a singular talent in British entertainment, celebrated for a comedic style that is both confrontational and incredibly charismatic. Since winning the Chortle Student Comedian of the Year award in 2014, he has become a mainstay of UK television. He is currently a regular panellist on the revived series of Never Mind the Buzzcocks and has made memorable appearances on major programmes including Taskmaster, Live at the Apollo, 8 Out of 10 Cats, and Frankie Boyle’s New World Order. His appeal extends well beyond the UK, having performed on The Late Late Show with James Corden and completed live tours across Europe, America, and Australia. Outside of traditional stand-up, he is a respected documentary maker who tackles complex social issues with curiosity and grit. He fronted the global series Hate Thy Neighbour, where he interviewed members of various extremist groups to understand their worldviews, and more recently collaborated with Mindhouse productions for the series Follow the Leader. His creative versatility is further evidenced by his success in digital media; his darkly humorous podcast, Spooky Shit, was honoured as the Best Comedy Podcast at the British Podcast Awards in 2022. Audiences book Jamali for his ability to weave sharp observational humour with deep social commentary. His relaxed yet fearless presence makes him an ideal choice for events seeking a modern performer who can engage with difficult topics through a relatable and authentic lens.
