DLT Entertainment is putting more money into talent management

DLT Entertainment, the producer of Monster Court and Go 8 Bit, has invested in the UK-based talent agency Hannah Layton Management.

DLT Entertainment has previously invested in Gag Reflex, MMB Creative, The Galton Agency, Impatient Productions. The Soho Agency, Blue Book Artist Management, and Andrew Roach Talent. HLM, founded in 2015 and focuses on comedic writer-performers, is the latest talent management addition for DLT.

Ellie Cahill-Nicholls, an actor’s agent from Noel Gay, has also recently joined the firm.

According to DLT, the investments’ “synergy” “has the potential to continue to create new opportunities for DLT, the agencies. Also their clients, providing a 360-degree approach to collaborating, sourcing, and developing new projects within the company.”

Layton will be based in DLT’s Bedford Square office in London.

DLT’s most recent TV work includes three shows for UKTV’s Dave, including the entertainment gameshow Go 8 Bit, hosted by comedian Dara O’Briain. Monster Court, a children’s show, premiered on CBBC in 2021. And DLT’s parent also owns and manages the Shaftsbury Theatre in London.
