What does a compere or MC do?

A compere or MC hosts your event from the stage: welcoming guests, introducing speakers and acts, running awards, filling gaps and keeping the night to time. A good host makes the whole event feel organised and relaxed.

Hosts can be polished and formal for an awards ceremony, warm and funny for a family day, or in character, such as a ringmaster for a circus theme. They work closely with your running order and your AV team.

Where it works best

  • Family fun days

    Hosting games, shows and announcements.

  • Gala dinners

    Auctions, raffles and speeches.

  • Conferences

    Linking speakers and sessions.

  • Circus themes

    A ringmaster to introduce every act.

  • Awards ceremonies

    Running categories, winners and timings.

  • Weddings

    A host to keep the day running smoothly.

Tips from our team

  1. 1

    Brief them on names

    Speakers, winners and VIPs should come with correct pronunciations.

  2. 2

    Share the running order early

    A host who knows the plan can keep everything on time and smooth over any changes.

  3. 3

    Plan the microphones

    Agree radio mics and stage cues with your AV team before the day.

Frequently asked questions

Do venues around Oldbury have rules for performers?

Many hotels and country houses have rules on ceiling rigging, fire, access times and changing space. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we will check everything before we confirm.

How much do comperes and MCs cost in Oldbury?

There is no fixed price. Every event is different. Prices depend on the acts, the number of performers, timings, travel and location, so we quote each booking individually. Travel is part of the quote, and Oldbury is 4 miles west of Birmingham. Send us your date and venue for free, no-obligation options.

Which postcodes around Oldbury do you cover?

All of B17, B31, B32, B65 and B68, including Birmingham, Rowley Regis, Blackheath and Old Hill, plus the rest of West Midlands and nearby Smethwick, West Bromwich, Handsworth and Halesowen.

Can the host run our awards?

Yes. Send the running order and categories and the host will prepare their script.

Can the MC be in character?

Yes. A ringmaster, a 1920s host or a themed character all work. Tell us your theme.

Does the MC need a microphone?

Yes. Most venues or AV teams supply radio mics. We confirm the setup in advance.

How far ahead should we book?

As early as you can. Friday and Saturday dates in December and the summer months go first, often months ahead. Short notice is sometimes possible, so it is always worth asking.

Can the performers match our theme or brand colours?

Usually, yes. Tell us your theme, colours or brand guidelines and we will suggest the costumes and acts that fit best.

Do you work with our venue and event team?

Yes. We agree access, changing space, timings and any venue rules before the day, and work to your run of show.
