EXCLUSIVE: Maya Jama and Roman Kemp’s agency Insanity Talent Management has hired agents from Independent Talent and Curtis Brown.
Grace O’Leary has joined as Senior Talent Manager after a 12-year stint at Independent where she worked with the likes of Sian Welby, Dolly Alderton and Lauren Laverne. She has already signed the likes of Dolly Alderton’s former High Low podcast host Pandora Sykes, Hasan Semay (Big Has), Freddie Garland and Justin Tsang (JustinTheDustbin).
Zach Brown has joined in the same role from Independent, having focused on games. He has signed Frankie Ward, Leah Alexandra, Koji and Emma Nicole.

Insanity had been doubling down in the Gen-Z space and signed a number of content creators late last year.
Insanity founder Andy Varley said: “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.”
