CompereHostVoiceover
A warm, professional event host and voiceover artist to hold your event together. From council celebrations and awards evenings to talent shows and bingo nights, I keep things on time, on message and genuinely good fun.
About
I’m a compere, event host and voiceover artist based in Bedfordshire, and I’ve spent my whole working life around live events, from stage managing at Butlins and working behind the scenes at the Grove Theatre and Luton’s Hat Factory, to running BBB Group and Event Production Live today.
Over the years I’ve shared stages and backstage corridors with everyone from Sting to Black Lace (yes, Agadoo). Nothing fazes me, which is exactly what you want from the person holding the mic.
So when I pick up the mic, I know exactly what’s going on behind the curtain: the running order, the cues, the crew, and that moment when the speeches start to overrun. My job is to make your event feel effortless. I keep it moving, keep the audience with you, and make sure everyone who should be thanked is thanked, and pronounced correctly.
Smart when it matters. Fun when it’s allowed.
What I do
Your event host and MC for council and civic occasions, awards evenings, festivals and community events. Polished scripting, smooth handovers and every name read right, with the programme kept on time and just enough fun to keep the room with you.
Compering live shows, talent competitions, cabaret and variety nights, bingo and game shows. Warming up the crowd, linking the acts and keeping the energy up from curtain up to last call, for clients including Talent Quest, La Voix and HitMix Bingo.
A clear, friendly British voice, recorded in my own home studio, with fast turnaround available on request. Perfect for adverts, announcements, explainer videos, on-hold messages and the ‘voice of God’ at your live event.

The less serious side
Suit and tie for the civic reception. Big grin for the bingo calls. The trick is knowing which one the room needs, and when to switch. Same glasses, same beard, same safe pair of hands on the mic.
