Johnson & Laird

Profile

Probably New Zealand's tallest comedian, Paul Ego has been one of the country’s top funnymen for the past decade. A ludicrously witty raconteur, his shows sell out regularly, and his natural ability to go with the flow make him an in-demand MC and presenter for corporate events. Winner of a Billy T James Award and veteran of thousands of local and international gigs, Paul is also known for his comedy script writing and voice work on award-winning radio shows Kim & Corbett and currently The Rock’s Morning Rumble breakfast show. He can also carry a tune, and often includes covers of crooning idol Frank Sinatra in his routines.

• Paul was a great MC on the evening, he entertained an audience of 1500 with stand-up comedy and introduced the acts (Dave Dobbyn and The Feelers) with much enthusiasm. From his background in breakfast radio, Paul was also able to inject a few facts about each band prior to and post their performances which made the connection between Paul’s role as MC and the bands performing more noticeable. Prior to the evening, Paul was also very easy to communicate with and was a pleasure to deal with regard
