Manchester event host & MC
Event host in Manchester.
A Manchester event host and master of ceremonies for fundraisers, awards nights and corporate events, from an arena floor at Co-op Live to Old Trafford’s Hotel Football.
Seven events across Greater Manchester, and counting.
My work in Manchester has ranged from a charity ball at the Hilton Deansgate and a student awards night at Hotel Football, Old Trafford, to fundraisers at Manchester Airport’s Concorde Hangar and, most recently, on the arena floor at Co-op Live. In between there has been a charity event at Gorton Monastery and an art auction in Altrincham.
Corporate crowds and fundraiser audiences need a host who reads the room second by second, not one working from a fixed script. My background is live television and comedy, which is exactly the muscle a fast-moving fundraiser or awards ceremony calls on: know when to hold the pace, when to give it away, and when to bring the energy back up.
- Event host and master of ceremonies for fundraisers, awards and corporate nights
- One host for the whole evening, from welcome to final ask
- A pre-event consultation as standard, so nothing is a surprise on the night
Manchester venues
Rooms I have hosted around Manchester.
What I host in Manchester.
Fundraising events & galas
Keeping the room warm between appeals and cueing the ask at the right moment, whether that is a hotel ballroom or an arena floor like Co-op Live.
Master of ceremonies
One host for the whole evening, reading the room second by second so speeches, entertainment and the fundraising ask all land in the right order.
Award ceremonies
Every name checked in advance, every winner given their moment, drawing on years of live television presenting to keep an awards night moving.
Corporate events & conferences
From a student awards night at Hotel Football to a business event at the airport, I run the room so your team can focus on the guests, not the running order.
Coordinating the running order
I work with your events team, venue and AV so timings hold and nobody is left waiting for their cue.
Parties & celebrations
Interactive game shows and audience-led entertainment built around the people in the room, for anything from a private party to a large-scale celebration.

A client review, in their own words.
Special Lioness annual ball: “We hired Kevin to be our MC and he was absolutely sensational. He kept the day flowing beautifully.”
Client reviews
Kevin recently hosted a company corporate event and proved to be the consummate professional throughout the evening. With his depth of experience in the industry, Kevin kept the evening flowing superbly and has the unique ability to read a room and keep everyone happy. Kevin is a great asset to any event.
Kevin was an absolute star! From start to finish he was professional, approachable and nothing was too much trouble. This was our first ever charity ball and with him on board we smashed our target by £12,000, and I know without a doubt a large portion of this was down to Kevin’s hard work. Everyone had a fabulous time and he set the perfect tone throughout the evening.
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.
