Ned Balme

The best MCs keep a program moving without it ever feeling like a run sheet, and that's how Ned Balme likes to work. He's laid back and a little tongue-in-cheek at the microphone, quick to ad-lib when plans shift, and sincere when a moment calls for it. His aim is to find common ground with every guest and make each of them feel special, so the night finishes on a high. The work starts well before the event, too. He stays organised and engaged through the lead-up as well as on the day. Ned also takes bookings as a mental health or sports speaker, and does voice acting work. Brisbane is home, with a travel radius of 100 km.
