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 regularly sell out, 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 a team leader on the hilarious local comedy TV show 7 Days. He can also carry a tune, and often includes covers of crooning idol Frank Sinatra in his routines.

Testimonials

• "Paul Ego was literally the shining star of the Kordia One Awards ceremony held in August this year. He has a fantastic relaxed stage presence and was able to switch between the obligatory autocue and his own wicked sense of humour with ease.His entrée onto the stage singing a ‘Kordia’ theme song was a fantastic way to warm up the crowd (160+ hard to please managers!) - we had people laughing before the show even really started. And he can really sing! Thanks Paul for raising the bar another notch for Kordia this year"

• "Vegas was a blast, extremely hot, but heaps of fun. All our customers had an awesome time and it all went off without a hitch.Paul was placed in an awkward position, being wedged between a DJ who was just firing the crowd up and the next lot of musical entertainment, but he did a great job of interacting with them all and they had a huge laugh. A lot of people came up to me thanking us for bringing him over as he is one of their favourites."

• "Please pass on thank you to Paul for the job he did on Saturday…it’s a shame we couldn’t have more time with him onstage entertaining as he was very funny for the short periods he was up there! Anyway, he was a pleasure to deal with…very accommodating and friendly…

• "We enlisted the services of Paul Ego to MC our Air New Zealand staff, family and friends ‘Live and Loud’ concert in Christchurch, on Thursday, 25 September 2008.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.
