The MC is the one variable you cannot rehearse.
He earns attention without demanding it
Measured delivery, not volume. No yelling, no swearing, no performance about the MC.
Settles a large room and protects the tone of your event.
He interviews. He does not read questions.
Twelve years of newsroom interviewing, including the federal Treasurer, the Queensland Premier and the federal Opposition Leader.
Panels that go somewhere, and guests who say something unplanned.
He holds the program together
Names, titles and pronunciations checked before the day. Speaker order, sponsor acknowledgements and contingencies agreed in advance.
When a speaker is delayed or the AV drops out, the audience never feels it.
He reads the room in front of him
Race crowds, educators, police officers, athletes, celebrities and political figures.
Language and pace matched to your audience, without losing authority.
Ways to work with Peter.
MC and event hosting
Front-of-room for the full program: opening, transitions, timing, sponsors, awards and the close.
Moderation and live interviews
Booked for the conversation rather than the running of the day.
Broadcast-ready and content-led events
For events that are filmed, streamed or cut up afterwards.
Crowd warm-up and live auctioneering
For the moments that need energy and decisive audience direction.
Based in Brisbane and booked across South East Queensland — the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Ipswich, Toowoomba and the Scenic Rim. Sectors include sport, financial services and insurance, health and mental health, tourism and hospitality, infrastructure and construction, government and public affairs, and Queensland business.
Prepared. Engaging. In control of the room.
“Peter held the room well. When he addresses the crowd people listen. He is extremely entertaining — at no point were the guests bored or restless. He kept the night moving and the feedback afterwards was excellent.”
