Southampton event host & MC
Event host in Southampton.
A Southampton event host and master of ceremonies, from the Hilton at the Ageas Bowl to fundraisers at the Utilita Hilton and East Horton Golf Club.
Hotel ballrooms and a returning golf club fundraiser.
My Southampton-area bookings range from an occasion at the Hilton at the Ageas Bowl and a fundraiser at the Utilita Hilton on Botley Road to the fundraiser at East Horton Golf Club in Fair Oak, which booked me back for a second year. The room, the audience and the goal were different every time, which is exactly the range this job needs.
Whether it is a fundraising appeal or a formal toast, the job is the same underneath: read what the room needs at that exact moment and give it to them. That comes from twenty years in live television and comedy presenting, not from a script.
- Event host, master of ceremonies and fundraiser compere
- A returning host at East Horton Golf Club for consecutive years
- A pre-event consultation as standard, so nothing is a surprise on the night

What I host in Southampton.
Fundraising events
Pacing appeals and live moments so a hotel ballroom stays warm and generous, built on hosting the fundraiser at the Utilita Hilton.
Master of ceremonies
One host for the whole day or evening, holding every moment together so nobody in the room has to.
Toastmaster duties
A warm, unflappable toastmaster who coordinates the running order and cues every key moment without a stiff, formal edge.
Corporate events
Business events hosted with the same attentive read of the room a fundraiser needs.
Award ceremonies
Every name checked and rehearsed, every winner given a proper moment, built on years of live television presenting.
Coaching nervous speakers
A quiet word beforehand and a running order that sets everyone up well, so every speaker feels ready.

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.
