Michael Spicer

Michael Spicer is a writer, comedian and actor who rose to fame with a series of viral sketches entitled The Room Next Door.

The Room Next Door – which depicted a frantic adviser feeding lines into the hidden earpieces of politicians and public figures taken from real-life interviews – accumulated 90 million views (and counting) on social media and has led to a sell-out Edinburgh Fringe show, a nationwide tour, a book deal, a radio series, a Writers’ Guild award and several appearances on The Late Late Show in the US. He has over half a million followers on Twitter, 200,000 on TikTok and over 200,000 subscribers on YouTube.

Away from The Room Next Door, Michael has also appeared as a regular performer on The Mash Report on BBC2, as well as guest appearing in major TV series such as After Life, Bridgerton, Avoidance and Disclaimer directed by Alfonso Cuarón. He has appeared in all three series of Mandy on BBC2 playing a variety of roles and was also the producer for series two.

Michael’s situation comedy on BBC Radio 4 about life as a viral sensation entitled Before Next Door won two British Comedy Guide awards. He is currently working on a second series of his BBC Radio 4 solo sketch show Michael Spicer: No Room.

Michael will soon be appearing in North Star, written and directed by Kristin Scott Thomas.
