JLA Agent - Jethro FoxThe best awards host I've seen all year. If 'briefability' were a real word then Stephen has it in spades. The fact that the first winner of the evening ran up to the stage and greeted him with a double high five showed how brilliantly Stephen had immersed himself in the event.
Biography
Stephen Mangan is an acclaimed actor who has appeared in some of the UK’s best TV comedy of recent years, including Episodes, with Matt LeBlanc. He has also starred in the acclaimed BBC drama The Split, and appeared in a number of films including the James Hunt/Niki Lauda biopic Rush and as the voice of Pat in Postman Pat: The Movie.
Stephen came to prominence with his role as the delusional and hilarious, un-PC anaesthetist Guy Secretan in the hit Channel 4 hospital sit-com Green Wing. His on-screen double act with Julian Rhind-Tutt was one of the show’s high points and they carried their characters from the hospital to various locations around the world in a series of Barclaycard ads.
Since then Stephen’s natural ability with a range of comic characterisations has seen him star in shows including I’m Alan Partridge (people still shout ‘Dan!’ at him), Free Agents, Dirk Gently, Adrian Mole: The Cappuccino Years, and The Armando Iannucci Show. He’s also portrayed Tony Blair twice in separate Comic Strip films, and played Arthur Conan Doyle in ITV’s Houdini and Doyle. He also co-wrote and starred in the psychotherapy comedy Hang Ups, and the Sky sitcom Bliss.
A RADA graduate, he has also taken on more serious stage roles in the West End and in touring productions, including The Tempest, The Norman Conquests and A Christmas Carol. He is also the author of the children's tale The Fart that Changed the World and is penning a film adaptation of Harry and the Wrinklies.
“Funny, charming and respectful of the event – a massive hit.”
Funny, charming and genuine. Stephen was a big success, and genuinely encouraged and celebrated with the winners onstage.
We were very pleased with Stephen as choice of host for our Awards! Stephan was friendly and professional on the night and went down very well with our audience. Stephan tailored his hosting specifically for our audience and was also very confident handling them as they got noisy. Big thanks again to Stephan, we highly recommend him as an awards host!
He was a great choice for our Awards. Our objectives were to not only have a celebrity in the room on the night, but to also have a great co-host for our Awards and someone who would bring their own personality to the night which he absolutely did. He was exceptional.
What can I say? What a nice guy – Stephen was absolutely delightful to work with and was a true professional; he made my life so easy.
The audience loved him; he brought real star quality to the event. He had to put up with being snogged by a man and a woman and coped with this with fun and grace (poor chap!) . He even got someone to cartwheel to the stage and managed a random individual coming up to collect an award he hadn’t won!
We were absolutely thrilled with Stephen, he was a pure professional to deal with on the night and kept the audience both laughing and completely enraptured during his speech. And even when they got a bit noisy as they can do, he managed to pull them back and get on with the show. Absolutely fantastic and everyone I have heard from seems really pleased so thank you so much for organising yet another big success for us.
