Unforgettable Fusion of Host & Performer: Professional MC, Iconic Entertainer
Paul Ego has New Zealand’s most recognisable voice, but his massive portfolio and ability to make everyone laugh is pretty cool too. A NZ radio veteran with award winning stints on both More FM and The Rock, Paul Ego was awarded the Billy T Comedy Award in 2000 and he continues to delight crowds with his masterful improv and acclaimed wit today. An innovative industry stalwart, Paul easily moves (and grooves) with the times, lending his charm to productions and making them iconic. Paul’s extensive career has seen him as a staple favourite on the hugely popular comedy show 7 Days, as well as the voice of the stickman in the PAK’nSAVE ads!
Paul has even thrown it back to his years as frontman for band The Yes Men, when he performed as ‘Mantis’ on reality singing competition The Masked Singer NZ. Still touring his stand up comedy on a regular basis, Paul is a highly sought-after MC and Entertainer.
His impressive experience, charisma and humour have generated glowing reviews from clients and audiences alike, making Paul the perfect pick for a variety of events. Paul Ego will always engage a crowd, and deliver a polished and entertaining performance.

Testimonials (4)
Tania McDougall | Event Manager PrintNZPaul and Jaquie were fabulous! I can’t believe they don’t do more together. They are both so quick and witty that the banter was seamless and any adlib (which we encourage) was well received and very funny. I’d have no hesitation recommending them as an MC duo.
