Ab Fab’s iconic Patsy, Joanna has recently released a podcast series: Joanna and the Maestro with her husband Stephen Barlow.

A sought-after voice artist, she has lent her voice to numerous projects including recent hits The Sandman (podcast series), David Lichfield’s The Bear and the Piano, and can be heard in numerous commercial and documentary projects lending her distinguished and distinctive dulcet tones.

Truelove

 

Channel 4’s latest miniseries Truelove stars two of Bespoke’s clients, Lindsay Duncan and Clarke Peters.

 

Coined “an exquisite drama about bumping off your best mates” by The Guardian, Truelove follows a pact made by friends to help each other at the end of the line – exploring relationships of love, friendships and grief.

 

The episodes release weekly every Wednesday at 9pm, with the first two episodes currently available to watch on online.

Jack O’Connell

The voice of JACK O’CONNELL is deep and huskied.

With credits including The North Water and Godless, his recent lead roles in SAS: Rogue Heroes and Lady Chatterley’s Lover - where he plays Oliver - have coined him a recognisable voice.

Born in Derby, England, he speaks with a coarse, northern accent that is widely resonating; able to perform various UK and American accents, Jack is a notable pick for a regional casting and voices with an edge.
