Captivated the Audience

The emcee created an engaging atmosphere for my marriage celebration. She was punctual, professional, and used well-paced comedic relief to relax the nervousness of the moment. We updated the script moments before the event to accommodate last minute cancellations and she executed the moment with ease. Thank you.

What to expect

I have a lot of energy. Events are one of my favorite things! And I want everyone at your event to feel as excited to be there as I am. I've been doing live entertainment for over 25 years. I read rooms well and know how to get a crowd pumped!

I like to think that I am the perfect DJ accessory. I can keep your event running on time, make announcements for your sponsors, and will lead a line dance or 3 to help you get your money's worth out your sound budget!

I am really trying to avoid saying that I get the party started but at the end of the day...IT'S WHAT I DO!

Talk to me about activities and games for your event! I can help run those or even build an activity if that's what you're looking for.

About

Being on stage with a microphone in my hand is my happy place. My emcee foundational training was from the Walt Disney Company when I was a live event DJ for Radio Disney in Charlotte. I'm an award-winning stage actor of over 25 years. I am a comedy writer and featured/lead performer of Charlotte's Best Sketch Comedy group - Robot Johnson.

Events are my specialty. Invite me to your wedding! I'll announce your wedding party, lead everybody in line dances to get them on their feet, all while helping to keep your reception running on your schedule. I'm the perfect addition to your DJ. (I do not have DJ equipment.)

I've done multi-stage music festivals, hosted game shows in all kinds of bars, and even organized cultural arts events.

Reach out and let's talk about how I can bring some awesome energy to your event!

Additional booking notes

I do not come with my own DJ equipment.
