5/5

Being the first time we've hired a comedian to host one of our corporate events, we were apprehensive on how it would be received by the audience. However, Matt was a huge success and he found the perfect balance of adding some humour to the event whilst still ensuring our key messages were delivered in an effective way. We surveyed our audience after the event and Matt was a big hit with everyone who attended. We'd definitely recommend Matt for this style of event and would happily book him again if the opportunity arises.

FAQs

His intelligent style is an interdisciplinary mix of the self-deprecating, satirical and hyperbolic. Grazing upon an all-encompassing choice of topics, he presents information that combines the informative or the personal narrative with pithy personal observations, and the audience laughs easily and applauds readily.

He has an effortless confidence, and is possessed of a talent for rapid audience interaction that is safe and unthreatening, with the disarming ability to amuse and make you feel smart all at the same time. Having previously been a criminologist, there is a certain degree of scientific reason to Stellingwerf’s material.

"He went down a storm.. we loved his cultural comparisons and knowledge sharing of New Zealand customs. Our Chief Executive thought Matt was great – always a tall order.. massive thanks to Matt and to you for setting us up." – Director of Marketing, FareShare

"A huge thank you for sending Matt to our Christmas party. He was a huge hit and got the measure of the many personalities in our office spot on. We would love to have him back next year so I will be in contact" – United Talent Agency

Does Matt perform at Corporate events?
Yes, aswell as years of experiences at theatres and comedy clubs, Matt is equally at home overseeing an awards evening, as after-dinner comedian or bringing his humour to business conferences. His material will fit your business and it's overall aim perfectly.
