Jeremy Corbett
Jeremy Corbett — MC & Corporate Host
Jeremy Corbett is the person you book when the night has to run properly.
Best known as the host of 7 Days, New Zealand's longest-running comedy panel show, Jeremy has spent more than three decades in front of live audiences and television cameras — 18 years hosting More FM Auckland's breakfast show, years on The Project, a stand-up career that predates all of it, and hundreds of conferences, awards nights and gala dinners in between.
What that experience buys an event manager is calm. Jeremy holds a programme together without making it about himself: he lands the sponsor mentions, keeps the run sheet moving, reads when a room needs energy and when it needs to settle, and handles the moments that aren't on the schedule — the AV failure, the speaker who runs fifteen minutes long, the award winner who can't be found. He is quick enough to make those moments funny rather than awkward, and experienced enough to know when not to try.
He works from your run sheet, not a set. Jeremy prepares properly — he'll want to know your people, your in-jokes, what you're celebrating and what's off-limits — and the humour comes out of your organisation rather than a routine he brought with him. It's the difference between a comedian booked to be funny and a host booked to make your event work.
