Insanity Talent Management hires agents from Independent, Curtis Brown

Talent agency Insanity, representing Maya Jama and Roman Kemp, has brought agents from top firms such as Independent Talent and Curtis Brown into their team.

Grace O’Leary, now a Senior Talent Manager, brings experience from her 12-year career at Independent, where she collaborated with talents like Sian Welby, Dolly Alderton, and Lauren Laverne.

She’s already enlisted talents like Pandora Sykes, formerly of the High Low podcast, Hasan Semay (Big Has), Freddie Garland, and Justin Tsang (JustinTheDustbin).

Bringing expertise in gaming, Zach Brown has also joined as a Senior Talent Manager from Independent.

He’s signed notable figures such as Frankie Ward, Leah Alexandra, Koji, and Emma Nicole.

Joining from MPW, Lucy Chesterman has added Farrel Heggarty, Lee Peart, Adam Kelly (2BigLugs), and Daisy Doris May to Insanity’s roster.

Hannah Thomas Davies, transitioning from Curtis Brown, brings with her talents like Chris Lloyd, Finn Tonry, Shani Dhanda, and Rhys Doing Things.

Recent focus at Insanity has been on the Gen-Z scene, with numerous content creators added to the team late last year.

Andy Varley, the founder of Insanity, remarked, “Grace, Lucy, Zach and Hannah join Insanity with significant experience gained at some of the UK’s leading talent agencies, and we are delighted to welcome them to the business. They each bring strong industry knowledge, excellent relationships and a clear understanding of what it takes to build impactful and long-term careers.”

The agency represents notable figures like Jama, Kemp, Mollie King, and Zara McDermott.
