Ben Powney

A gala night and a war memorial service need very different hosts, and Ben Powney has done both. He's a professional MC, corporate presenter and comedy host with upwards of two decades behind the microphone and over 70 countries on his record. Awards nights, industry conferences, high-energy galas and dignified commemorations are all in his range, and he adjusts the tone to suit, whether there are 50 guests in the room or 5,000. The humour is warm, and he's promised to keep the dad jokes out unless you ask for them. Weddings are on his list too, and he takes keynote and after-dinner bookings. Sunshine Coast bookings within 50 km are his usual range.
