Need an experienced live event host who can keep your audience engaged and your running order on track? I host awards ceremonies, corporate events, conferences, launches, dinners, charity events and entertainment-led events across the UK.
With more than 25 years as a professional performer, voiceover artist and presenter, I work closely with agencies, organisers, producers and technical teams before and during the event. I am comfortable with scripts, autocue and production briefs, introducing speakers, awards and entertainment, managing transitions and adapting calmly when timings or circumstances change.
My style is professional, warm and flexible. As a Britain’s Got Talent live semi-finalist, celebrity impressionist and professional Voice of God announcer, I can also add humour, impressions, live announcements and prerecorded introductions where they suit the event.
These clips show the mix of live presenting, comedy and celebrity impressions I can bring to an event. The tone can be polished and corporate, or more entertainment-led, depending on the audience, occasion and production brief.
I host live events for companies, agencies, charities and production teams across the UK, adapting the tone and delivery to suit the audience, occasion and production brief.
Awards ceremonies and corporate awards
Introducing categories, nominees, winners and entertainment while keeping the ceremony moving and maintaining energy in the room.
Corporate events and gala dinners
Professional, warm hosting for company celebrations, client events, gala dinners and staff occasions.
Conferences and business events
Introducing speakers, linking sessions, working from scripts or autocue and helping the programme remain on schedule.
Product launches and brand events
Confident live presentation that supports the brief, communicates key messages and keeps the audience engaged.
Charity and fundraising events
Hosting with the right balance of warmth, sensitivity, humour and momentum.
Entertainment-led events
A more playful presenting style, with comedy, celebrity impressions and character voices where appropriate.
Good live hosting starts well before I walk on stage. I take time to understand the audience, objectives, tone, running order and any names, pronunciations or messages that need particular care.
Before the event
I can work from your script, contribute to links and transitions, rehearse with autocue and liaise with producers, organisers and technical teams.
During the event
I introduce speakers, awards, entertainment and video content, keep the programme moving, maintain energy in the room and help the event stay on schedule.
When plans change
Live events rarely run exactly as written. I can adjust calmly to late speakers, shortened segments, technical delays or last-minute changes without making the audience aware of the pressure behind the scenes.
Alongside professional live hosting, I can bring additional performance and production elements to an event when they suit the brief.
Celebrity impressions and comedy
As a Britain’s Got Talent live semi-finalist and experienced impressionist, I can incorporate bespoke comedy, celebrity voices and character material without turning the entire event into a comedy performance.
Voice of God announcements
I can combine on-stage hosting with live or prerecorded Voice of God introductions for speakers, award categories, entertainment and important moments in the running order.
Prerecorded event material
My broadcast-quality professional studio is available for polished announcements, video voiceovers, presenter links and introductions recorded before the event.
Live event bookings and availability are handled by Richard Bucknell at RBM. Please include the event date, location, event type and approximate timings where possible.
