Shappi’s career has taken her to all corners of the globe. She has appeared on countless TV & Radio shows, including: Live at the Apollo, Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow, I’m a Celebrity: Get Me Out of Here, Mock The Week, 8 Out Of 10 Cats, MasterChef, Have I Got News For You, QI, Pointless Celebrities, Question Time and Just a Minute, as well as her own show, Shappi Talk.
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 published her childhood memoirs, A Beginner’s Guide To Acting English, her best-selling literary debut, described by the Scotsman as “filled with laughter, wonder and compassion”. Emma Thompson said, “This very funny, acute book also made me cry.”
Shappi went on to publish her first novel, Nina Is Not Ok, which was described by the Telegraph as “moving, funny and shocking” and received tremendous acclaim from critics and readers alike.
