Miles Jupp
Stand Up, Host & Actor
Miles' credits extend from Balamory to Rev. to R4's guessing game It's Not What You Know. The acclaimed actor, stand up and former host of The News Quiz has also appeared in films The Monuments Men and Made in Dagenham, and on the West End stage. Live, Miles looks at the world, and in particular the English regions, with utter incomprehension.
Biography
The name Miles Jupp conjures up different images to different audiences. For those of a certain age he is Archie the inventor in Balamory; to others he is Nigel the lay minister of the hit ecclesiastical sitcom Rev. He’s also a regular on everything from Have I Got News For You to Just A Minute.
Miles’ onstage persona combines the urbane, upper-crust manners that come with a privileged upbringing with railing against the everyday frustrations of banks, computer support, politicians and married life. Acutely aware of his poshness (and the problems it creates), he sees the world with a quiet detachment - cut through with marvellous irony.
The former host of Radio 4 institution The News Quiz, Miles’ other broadcast credits include playing a hapless press officer in The Thick of It (with a fringe ‘to hide the lobotomy scar’ according to Malcolm Tucker). He also appeared in Sky’s hit comedy Spy, and the films The King of Soho, The Monuments Men, and Made in Dagenham. Radio 4 listeners also know him as Damien Trench in In And Out Of The Kitchen (a sit-com based around the life of a food writer), and It’s Not What You Know (a panel show where celebrities test their knowledge of the people that know them best). Miles has also written a book, Fibber in the Heat, about his escapades during an England cricket tour of India when he bluffed his way into the press corp.
“Miles went down a storm – he was perfect for the audience.”
Very professional, obviously had looked into details about the company which he used to great effect! He was a pleasure to meet and work with.
Excellent! A true professional.
We were looking for someone who was entertaining but would also take
presenting the awards seriously. Miles did a really good job of engaging the audience but also stuck to the format of the awards to ensure we achieved our brief.
Miles was a pleasure to work with on the day, both in rehearsal and during the
awards presentation. Miles was professional and understood the brief well. JLA described him as a safe pair of hands and I would agree with that.
The audience loved him! He adapted his introduction to the audience and whilst
sailing close to the edge he did not overstep the mark. We have received some great feedback from guests.
Miles was very pleasant and friendly which made him a pleasure to work with.
