Jamie Demetriou, 34, started his career in student comedy, performing at the Edinburgh fringe. His TV roles include parts in Toast of London, Fleabag and the Apple TV+ series The Afterparty, which debuted in 2022. In 2021, the third series of his Bafta-winning comedy Stath Lets Flats – about an incompetent letting agent – aired on Channel 4. He stars in the series alongside his sister, Natasia Demetriou. Demetriou won the 2022 Bafta for best male performance in a comedy.
How did it feel to see Stath Lets Flats get so much acclaim for its third run?
I was so terrified of the response to series three, because I had a really hard time writing and shooting it, and you assume that’s going to be conducive to a bad product. The feeling of relief I had that it wasn’t a disaster was overwhelming. As for whether it’s the end of the show, I think there’s more to that universe. I’m not shutting the door on it. But I said I was taking a pause, which got construed as me taking a career break. I was working on the series for 10 years, so I’m just trying to work out what I want to do next.
