DLT invests in Andrew Roach Talent

Showbiz giant DLT Entertainment has tied up its second comedy agency in a week.

The company – which owns the Shaftesbury Theatre in London’s West End and has produced TV shows such as My Family and Dara O Briain's Go 8 Bit – has joined forces with Andrew Roach Talent.

Its roster includes Lost Voice Guy Lee Ridley, pictured, plus Juliette Burton, Jo Coffey, Rob Deering, Laura Lexx, Jamie MacDonald, Georgie Morrell, Aatif Nawaz, Aaron Simmonds, Richard Stott and Mark Jones & Christy White-Spunner’s double act Sisters.

Under the new deal DLT will make what’s descirbed as ‘significant investment’ in the agency and work with the roster on new and existing projects.

The news comes less than a month after DLT announced a similar tie-in with Christian Knowles, the agent who represents Micky Flanagan, Gary Delaney. Mark Watson, Zoe Lyons and others. DLT also has arrangements with the Soho Agency and Milburn Browning Associates 

DLT founder Donald Taffner Jr – who now will take a seat on the Andrew Roach Talent agency’s board – said: ‘Andrew has an incredible range of wonderfully talented and inspirational artists, who are pushing the boundaries and challenging the status quo in the entertainment industry, which audiences can’t get enough of.  

‘We are very excited to work with the agency to develop new projects and explore the myriad of opportunities for them in the broadcast and entertainment industries.’
