Justine Smith MC/Entertainer Profile

– OUSA Event

Pride in Print Awards 2022

I just wanted to pass on our rave review of Justine and Jason. If I thought they were great before I’m now out of complimentary words to sum up just how fantastic they were. Our crowd was somewhat subdued to begin with (which is quite unusual for that bunch) but Justine and Jason ended up having them in fits of laughter with such a great rapport and crowd interaction.

I would without hesitation recommend them to anybody wanting lively, fun, professional MCs (and seriously, could they both be any nicer in person? Such lovely people).

“Justine is a fantastic comedy debater, she had the audience in stitches at the Speight’s Great Comedy Debate, her quick wit meant she included the audience and kept them engaged throughout her speech.”

TREASURY WINE ESTATES ANNUAL CONFERENCE - ENTERTAINMENT - DEC 2014

"Just wanted to say how great Jamie Bowen and Justine Smith were as entertainers at our annual conference last night.

Both comedians were exactly on brief, engaged the audience and provided 40 minutes of very light hearted relief to set the night up. As a pair they were actually very good together – both very different with different angles, and I think this made for a great act, they both seemed to take from each other. Despite given the short notice they both managed to get some understanding of the business and related their act to suit.

They were undoubtedly the catalyst for what ended up being a great night, way above our expectations and we would have no hesitation in recommending them or using them again." Andrew Lawrence, National Business Manager, Treasury Wine Estates

“Justine Smith has been a regular performer at the annual Divas showcases during the NZ International Comedy Festival. Her honest yet bold style of comedy has ensured that she is always in high demand from the Divas audience. Justine's consummate professionalism always makes her a pleasure to deal with.”

“I employed Justine as a debater in the American Express Great Comedy debate, as a stand up comedian in the Lindauer Laughs, both sell-out shows with a high audience expectation and also as one of two stand-up comedians to host in-flight entertainment on a themed flight from Sydney, Australia to Queenstown for the same Festival. On all occasions, Justine was outstanding, not only as a performer, but also as a professional: she is a pleasure to do business with.”

“With her rapid-fire delivery and inability to stay on track, resulting in hilarious asides and ad-libs, Justine Smith is at the top of her game. It’s grubby, it’s hedonistic and the crowd loves her.”

- Lindauer DIVAS

“Smith …. delivers a highly entertaining, slick night of comedy.”

- Lindauer DIVAS

“Smith’s trademark crazy eyes are still in the mix, but this show contains a lot of new material and a more seasoned view on life … If you’re heading out for one more festival show this week, head to The Return of the Jussi for a bloody good night out.”
