Kitty Laing will step down as head of comedy at United Agents after an investigation into social media reposts and shares highly critical of Israel. She will, however, remain with the U.K. talent agency to represent her clients.

“Following the statements made earlier this week, it has been agreed that Kitty Laing will step away from her leadership roles as head of comedy and as a member of the executive committee of United Agents, effective immediately. Kitty will continue to work with her clients and the team at United Agents,” the talent agency said in a statement obtained by The Hollywood Reporter.

United Agents on Oct. 24 opened an investigation into Laing, one of its senior agents, after she shared posts on X, formerly Twitter, that were highly critical of Israel as it mounts a campaign in Gaza against Hamas after the deadly Oct. 7 terrorist attacks in southern Israel.

Kitty Laing, head of comedy at United Agents, is under investigation by the top U.K. talent agency after social media reposts and shares highly critical of Israel as that country fights a war with Hamas.

On Tuesday morning, United Agents said on its X account and in a statement obtained by The Hollywood Reporter: “We have been made aware of social media posts by one of our senior agents this morning. These are not the views of United Agents Ltd. We are conducting a full and thorough investigation into this immediately.”

Laing represents comedy writers and actors and sketch comedy artists like Michelle Asante, Jamie Demetriou, Jack Brett Anderson, and Dan Harry and Ollie King. United Agents has clients working in film, TV, theater, radio and digital, as well as representing them in concert touring.

Laing’s reposts have been taken down and are no longer available for viewing on X.

TV viewers in the U.K. will once again get the chance to see actors Michelle Asante and Zawe Ashton in their respective supporting roles on the second series broadcasts of ITV's Monroe and BBC's Case Histories for the upcoming television season. Asante reprises her role on medical drama Monroe as medical assistant Kitty Kelly, alongside lead actor James Nesbitt. It's been described by some as the British version of U.S. series House, MD, but fans of Monroe would likely beg to differ. Adapted from Kate Atkinson’s novels, Case Histories is a Ruby Film and Television production for BBC One through BBC Scotland. Ashton's humorous turn as secretary...

The “maverick doctor” is a staple of television, with the contemporary benchmark being Fox’s House; a series ITV1′s new medical drama won’t escape lazy comparison to. But neurosurgeon Gabriel Monroe (James Nesbitt) isn’t a grouchy Holmesian genius — he’s an egomaniac with a better bedside manner, and a repertoire of great lines like “you’re taking a knife to someone’s head; the only difference between you and a psychopath is good A-levels.”

Nothing about Monroe’s premise is exactly fresh and original, but it’s a good example of classic ideas, elevated by Nesbitt’s magnetic performance, an intelligent script from Peter Bowker (Blackpool), and slick direction by Paul McGuigan (the filmmaker behind Gangster No1 who’s carving a niche for himself on UK drama between this and BBC1′s Sherlock.) McGuigan brings plenty of stylish tricks to the party; flashy scene transitions, staccato camera...

Some Dogs Bite, a tough but tender new British film by award-winning writer Lin Coghlan and BAFTA award-winning director Marc Munden will premiere on Wednesday 10th November on BBC3 at 9pm.

Some Dogs Bite (previously known as Awol) is the story of three brothers on the road and on the run, and stars Thomas Sangster, Aaron Taylor and Michelle Asante.

When 15 year old Casey (played by Sangster) takes his baby brother from foster care, older brother H is forced to look after them both.

Thomas' character Casey is 15, but his learning difficulties can make him appear younger. He has a wide-eyed innocence that simultaneously makes him in love with the world but also detached from it. After taking his baby brother from foster care so that he can look after him, he hits the road with his big brother H, who reluctantly must look after them both. Casey is very...
