Shappi Khorsandi

As a keynote speaker and awards host, Shappi can deftly handle the most serious subjects with a sprinkling of humour – a skill perfected in her early stand-up shows.  Drawing on her past experiences as a female comic breaking into a male-dominated industry, Shappi is a popular speaker on topics surrounding diversity and inclusion and mental health. Her charmingly candid style combined with her sharp-as-a-tack delivery ensure that whether speaking virtually or in-person, she never fails to connect with an audience.

Shappi has done features for several national publications and has a regular, weekly column in the Independent.

She has received an honorary doctorate from Winchester University for her contribution to the arts. Her mother was overjoyed, until she realised Shappi can’t actually write prescriptions for her.

Shappi has also received the prestigious James Joyce Award for outstanding success in her field from Dublin University.

She has two dogs, two cats and two children so can often be found hiding in the airing cupboard, eating crisps in the dark.
