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. Fourteen games, all my own software and all run from one screen: nine big-screen formats, Family Fortunes, The Generation Game and Play Your Cards Right among them, and five Play Along rounds the whole room plays on their own phones. Common Ground, Who’s Bluffing?, The Final Few, Side Bets and The Cut were built for rooms of thirty to three hundred, and every one of the fourteen plays three ways: as a show at the front, table against table, or with every guest on their own phone. Every question, answer and round is written for the room in front of me, and I change gear on the night if a different crowd turns up. It is the kind of entertainment you simply do not get from another host in the UK.
All fourteen games
Fourteen games. One host. One screen.

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 05 Nice to see you
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 06 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 07 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.

Kevin was very, very good. Going forward, anybody who needs a good host, Kev’s your man.
We hired Kevin to be our MC for the Special Lioness annual ball and he was absolutely sensational. He covered all of the areas that we discussed and a little bit more. He kept the day flowing beautifully and added in his own flair and personality. It’s absolutely wonderful.
Kevin has just facilitated our entire conference today and I must say, his energy, the structure behind it, his natural enthusiasm has just kept the whole thing rolling along. I’m really grateful for your input and your efforts.
