Thanks for stopping by.
Whether you're planning a charity fundraiser, awards ceremony, corporate event, wedding or comedy night, I can help make sure your event runs smoothly from start to finish.
With nearly 20 years of experience entertaining audiences across the UK, I combine professional event hosting with the warmth, confidence and audience engagement of a stand-up comedian.
Charity Dinners/Balls
Is there a better way to raise vital money for a worthy cause? It gives everybody a chance to get dressed up, let their hair down and most importantly, make a huge difference to a deserving charity. A host is a fundamental part of the success of the event, and I will be there from start to finish. I welcome your guests, host games, announce the speeches and host the auction.
I am proud to say that in the last twelve months alone, I have helped raise over £45,000 for charitable organisations.
Corporate Events/Awards Ceremonies
Having worked hard all year, now is the time to reward and celebrate with your personnel. I will be on hand to welcome everyone with a personalised introduction, address the audience where necessary and announce those all-important awards.
Weddings
We all know how stressful planning a wedding can be, why not let me take some of that stress away? I will be on hand throughout the special day to make announcements (including the all-important happy couple announcement), guide guests to where they need to be, announce all the speeches and finally, the first dance. I spend time getting to know the couple to add a personal touch to the speeches and interact with the guests.
Comedy Events
As well as two decades of hosting experience, I also have over sixteen years of organising comedy events for all types of venues, from theatres to sports clubs, social clubs and community centres.
They are really fun and also make great fundraisers.
The package includes a lineup of some of the finest comedians on the UK circuit, and I will be the compère for the full event.
