I am looking out for the following opportunities:
Emcee / Master of CeremoniesEvent
Trivia/Gameshow Hosting
Anchoring comedy/any-type-of shows.
My background in performance/public speaking involves - improvisational acting for the last seven years and trivia hosting for the last two years. References on request.
I have met many people in this world. Hari by far has blown away with his passion and dedication and courage. In such a short time he has made such a huge impact with his work. People are gravitating towards his body of work. I’m very proud to work along side him. Pure class and joy.

Response from HariTheHost:
Reza bhai, that's very generous feedback. Thank you for the opportunity to commentate at a full game and Emcee at the awards night. I'd especially wanted to commentate for a while. Appreciate the opportunities through the cricket league events and the encouragement! And I look forward to the upcoming vlog project!
Hari performed standup at a couple of bars in Delray Beach and Boynton Beach and at a house party in Boynton Beach(all Florida). He was quite confident on stage and was able to get the audience involved and build his comedy around locally relevant themes. I recommend him for hosting, emceeing and standup. Also, he has a flair for whistling songs and tunes - the audience at Delray Beach appreciated him whistling an entire Russian Song.
Response from HariTheHost:
Thanks Seetha for the review! I had a blast at the Florida scene! And thank you for the encouragement! :)
I've seen Hari host trivia in San Jose and Fremont and he crushes it every time. He has a way of bringing in every member of the audience and people seem to gravitate to him. I would highly recommend him for any talent gig you may be looking for..
Response from HariTheHost:
Thanks for the review Mike! Appreciate you providing me the opportunity to get experience in the trivia world and setting me up with a variety of venues across the Bay area. I've enjoyed them!
Price Range: Contact for rates
Languages: English, Spanish, Tamil
I speak English (and also Tamil and a decent bit of Spanish and a wee bit of Hindi). I have hosted the following types of events:
1. Trivia nights - over the last couple of years - typically at the South and East Bay. I have hosted 25+ events so far in different venues bars, pubs, breweries, restaurants, etc.
2. Improv (improvisational theatre) - six plus years of Improv'g at Mountain View and occasionally leading the Improv night
3. Emcee/Master of Ceremonies at college symposiums (technical) or cultural events (featuring music, dance, entertainment and being QuizMaster)
Open to:
4. I am open to hosting wedding receptions, alumni meets, Indian events and any other event which requires an Emcee who can interject a splash of comedy into the event while hosting it
5. Standup - Limited experience thus far (have performed in Florida/CA) - I am looking to accumulate more experience here.
I have been in the Bay area for the last 12 years. I am engineer by profession (hardware/storage/customers). I was born and raised in Chennai, India and grew up with a lot of family, sunshine, street cricket and fun at school and college. I moved to the US for grad school (Arizona State) and moved to CA after graduating to explore work opportunities.
My passions outside of work include the great outdoors (hiking), playing sports (primarily cricket, but also running and bits of tennis/soccer) and public speaking (trivia hosting, improv acting, Emcee'g, toastmaster's and more). My extroverted nature and enthusiasm for public speaking has led me to explore opportunities around hosting, emcee'g and beyond!
Thank you for reading through my introduction!
