Insurance Times often chooses slightly risqué entertainers for its annual awards bash, and no, Backchat isn't talking bunny girls.
Having gone for up-and-coming comedian Jimmy Carr last year - who this week told a national newspaper that even he gets excited about who is going to win "er, best premiums", at insurance awards ceremonies - this year Dara O'Brien got the nod.
But anyone thinking O'Brien would be less risqué than Carr was in for a nasty shock. Unfortunately for those at the tables in the front, O'Brien's flies were undone for the entire first half of the awards.
The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
