about

Lisa White was born in Hounslow, raised just outside Staines, educated in Slough and studied Media at the University of Ulster in Coleraine.

In 1990 Lisa headed to Glasgow’s Mayfest and discovered the world of stand up comedy. Working in press there led to a job in the Assembly Rooms press office and her love affair with stand up comedy and the Edinburgh Festival was born.  From there she went to Jongleurs and was soon managing the Battersea venue.  Fast forward three years and she set up her own talent agency Lisa White Productions specialising in writer performers. During this time she was also associate producer on two series of Gas for Channel 4 a showcase for emerging and as yet undiscovered talent. Lisa’s knack for spotting emerging talent led her to be invited to set up Off The Kerb West End to bring a younger client list to OTKP, start a corporate arm and revitalise the company’s Edinburgh Festival operation. Lisa joined International Artistes two years later where she spent seven happy years before forming Glorious Management in January 2007.

Jess Brooks joined Team Glorious in 2017 after graduating from St Mary’s University Twickenham with a degree in Theatre Arts.  It was during university that Jess was introduced to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and her love of all things comedy began.  During her second year volunteering for Pleasance she emailed everyone in the industry hoping for some experience.  Thankfully Lisa replied and she has been part of Glorious since.

Sophie Church was a comedy agent for over 13 years and has managed the careers of many successful acts. She now heads up the corporate event arm of Glorious for the past decade. Having booked live performances for corporate events worldwide and having dealt with household names throughout her career she is in the perfect position to source and provide the best comedians and presenters for any corporate or private event.

Lisa is also supported by Chris Cole (Onyx Accounting), Nick Frost (NFC) and Mark Rogers (Media Wizards).
