After Dinner Speaker Biography: Gyles Brandreth's career has ranged from playing Baron Hardup in Cinderella to being a Lord Commissioner of the Treasury in John Major's government. Known for the colourful jumpers he wore on countless game shows and on TV-am in the 1970s and 1980s, he became the MP for the City of Chester in 1992. In 1997, with politics behind him, he returned to a career in writing and broadcasting. He is editorial consultant to Whitaker's Almanack and has published a new biography of the actor John Gielgud.
With his wife Michele, he is founder of the award-winning Teddy Bear Museum in Stratford-upon-Avon. He is a former chairman and now vice-president of the National Playing Fields Association, the national trust of recreational space. A member of Trevor McDonald's Better English campaign, the founder of the National Scrabble Championships, he has featured in the Guiness Book of Records for making the longest-ever after-dinner speech - lasting twelve and a half hours.
Gyles Brandreth is available for after dinner and corporate events.
