Corporate event host · Awards MC · Game show entertainment · UK-wide
Nobody remembers a normal night. Corporate event host for award ceremonies, conferences and festivals, with TV-style game show entertainment built in.
Twenty years of broadcast polish, the range to hold a boardroom of twenty or a field of eighty thousand, and my own TV-style game shows, produced for your room and woven through the night. I host award ceremonies, conferences, product launches and festival stages for brands across the UK.
Round 01 The signature
TV-style game show entertainment, built into the hosting.
Most hosts warm a room up. I turn the room into the show. Family Fortunes, The Generation Game and Play Your Cards Right, rebuilt to broadcast standard and woven between your awards, speeches and dinner. Every question and round is written for the room in front of me, and I can split that room in two and rotate the teams so most of your guests actually get to play, not just watch. It is the kind of entertainment you simply do not get from another host in the UK.
Round 02 The approach
The safe pair of hands who is also, genuinely, the best part of the night.
Most hosts pick a lane. I work across all of them: the polish a boardroom expects, the warmth a crowd remembers, and the calm to carry a live room when things go off script.
It comes from twenty years in front of audiences and a background in broadcast, so the autocue, the timings and the unexpected all feel like second nature. You get an event that lands, and a client who looks brilliant.

Round 07 About
Meet your host.
I’m a professional event host and master of ceremonies with more than twenty years in front of live audiences. I’ve hosted over 800 events, from intimate award dinners to festival stages of eighty thousand and more, including Download Festival.
The composure comes from a past life in television, presenting for Fox, BBC and Warner Bros. Autocue, tight timings and the occasional live surprise all feel like second nature, so your event stays sharp, warm and exactly on schedule.
When you book me you get more than an entertainer. You get someone who can command a room, carry a clear brand message and keep the whole night on track, then have a lot of fun with your guests when the moment is right. Corporate planners and brands across the UK trust me with their biggest moments, and rate me 5.0 out of 5 across 29 reviews.
More about meRound 08 What clients say
The judges’ scores.
Kevin was fantastic as the conference host, managing the room with great energy. I particularly enjoyed the Q&A session; he didn’t hold back and really put me to the test. It was a really, really good experience.
Kevin was a brilliant host for our event – incredibly well prepared including double checking pronunciations of names, turning up early to complete a dress rehearsal and helping out to run around with a card machine for charity in his breaks from hosting without prompting – would highly recommend for any event.
Kevin hosted our staff conference event this year which was fantastic. He brought an energy and enthusiasm with him and played a really important part in getting people engaged in the day. Thank you for all your help in making this a really memorable day for Golding.
Round 09 Questions
The quickfire round.
Can’t see your question? Send it over and I’ll come straight back to you.
What types of events do you host?
Award ceremonies, conferences and conventions, product launches, gala dinners and large-scale festivals. I work as an MC, awards host and conference presenter for corporate clients and brands across the UK, and I bring TV-style game show entertainment to the events that want the whole room on its feet.
What areas do you cover?
I’m based in the UK and cover many different areas including London, Manchester and Edinburgh. I have regular events in the US, Spain, Monte Carlo and Portugal.
How far in advance should I book?
Popular dates, especially in awards season and December, get booked months ahead. It is worth getting in touch as early as you can, though I do take shorter-notice bookings when the diary allows.
How much does it cost to hire an event host?
Every event is different, so fees are quoted individually based on the date, location, running time and what you need on the day. Tell me about your event and I will put together a clear quote.
Do you host both corporate and private events?
Yes. The core focus is corporate: awards, conferences and brand events. I also host selected private celebrations, and I can bring fundraising experience to gala dinners where a live auction or pledge moment is needed.
What makes you different from other event hosts?
Twenty years on stage, a background in television presenting for Fox, BBC and Warner Bros, and a full TV-style game show I can build into the night, which is not something most hosts can offer. You are booking an entertainer, an event manager and a safe pair of hands in one. Clients rate me 5.0 out of 5 across 29 reviews.
