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.

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)
Kim Summerville | Event PlannerPaul Ego was outstanding, the perfect blend of humour and professionalism. He had us laughing until our faces hurt, yet remained respectful and engaging throughout. He took real care to pronounce our award recipients’ names correctly, delivered a brilliant 15-minute stand-up set, and transitioned straight back into MC duties with ease. An absolute pleasure to work with, we can’t wait to do it again.
