Col did an outstanding job as MC at the MEA Industry Awards Night. He was a complete professional and flexible in adapting to the short notice changes in the program. Our guests loved his hilarious antidotes and laidback approach, I received numerous compliments throughout the evening praising Col's performance. He's a delight to work with.
Col went out of his way to make our experience an enjoyable and fun day for our End Of Year Function. His lively presentation was engaging and he was very brave facing a room full of women - but he soldiered on and did an exemplary job. Well done Col.
Col was fantastic! He nailed the brief and it was a pleasure having him there.
