Overview
If you're looking for a Host, Emcee, Comedian, Auctioneer or Actor with over 20 years of experience who's done it all (The Super Bowl! The Comedy Store! CES! USO Tour in the Middle East! A random chartered cruise ship in the South China Sea!), then you've come to the right profile.
(Literally "done it all" - I've been the voice of a Moose head, did a game show for prisoners, improvised an event for Nestle on-the-spot and performed for the troops overseas)
I pride myself on being professional, engaging, low maintenance, on time, on point and full of humor, energy and event flow.
Passport in Hand. Car gased up. Suit ironed. Hotel/per diem negotiable.

What to expect
I think "sense of humor" is the main thing that separates me from the pack - whether it be in phone calls or live presentations, I always come with a smile. I keep it corporate clean and make sure all have a good time.
But don't confuse that with "unprofessional." I pride myself on my professionalism! I show up early, I come prepared, I'm low maintenance, and I understand the stakes - no matter how "loose" the event is.
I'm aware I'm part of a team to make a fantastic event!
I've been onstage since I was in my teens, so I know poise and how to present. I've got improv training and am able to go off-the-cuff and adjust to ever-changing events - I relish the curve balls live events often come with.
I keep them engaged, take the stress off of you, and leave them laughing...
About
If you’re looking for an emcee who can bring comedy, charisma, and complete professionalism to your event or a comedian who can adjust the jokes, energy and material to your guests liking – the kind who can warm a cold room, lift a tired one, and send everyone out buzzing – you’re about to see why some of the biggest names in the world keep calling me back.
“That was the best introduction I’ve ever had.” - Stevie Wonder
“Joel is so incredibly funny.” - Apple
"The client had nothing but glowing reviews. She appreciated your flexibility and positivity when there we so many additions and changes." - Meetings & Incentives Worldwide, Inc.
“We had a blast!! Thank you for making me look good! Amazing!.” - Farmer John
Hey, I’m Joel Bryant - Top International Emcee and Comedian - and an expert at turning events of any style or size into high-energy experiences people actually enjoy. With over 20 years of experience, I’ve emceed crowds from 15 to 25,000, headlined comedy clubs in over 40 countries, hosted at the last 10 Super Bowls, and worked with top-tier brands like Apple, Google, Delta, Microsoft, Meta, and Nestlé.
Why do these big names keep inviting me back to their stages?
It’s this:
My unique blend of corporate-safe comedy, interactive crowd work, and TV-ready charisma that you won’t find from any other emcee on this site (with actual TV & Film credits!).
I’ve a very distinctive style that keeps:
The energy in your room up.
The transitions between your speakers smooth.
The engagement levels of your audience through the roof!
And if your event is more of the private, late-night club variety, the comedy can get as edgy as you like! I'm a regular performer on Carnival Cruise Lines and headline both their PG-rated and late-night 18+ shows.
Also, having done this for decades (literally!) I'm able to work with your team and client on event scripting, punching up boring old scripts and coming up with games, challenges, or other interactive elements that add even more unique flavor and engagement to your event.
I’ll help your event succeed before it even gets going!
Not many (if any) other emcees or comedians can offer you that kind of flexibility.
So if you’re putting on an event and you want people walking out the door saying “that was the most fun we’ve ever had at a conference, charity gala, team-building event, or awards show,” then let’s talk!
Joel
Additional booking notes
I can literally adjust to anything.
A microphone is nice. Speakers as well.
Maybe a bottle of water.
Outside of that, I'm good.

Influences and inspiration
My biggest influence in my hosting style is the Friars' Club roasts of the golden age. When guys like Dean Martin, Don Rickles and Sammy Davis, Jr. would rib, go off script and be endlessly entertaining, all coming from a place of love, never alienating.
Also a huge talk show host fan: The classiness of Johnny Carson, the uniqueness of early David Letterman, the improv of Craig Ferguson, the pure joy of Conan O'Brien.
