Rob Brown

The corporate MC who can handle any room

Some rooms are easy. Most of the rooms that matter are not.

Rob Brown has been in front of all of them and kept every one of them with him.

Rob Brown is a corporate MC and comedian with more than twenty years in front of Australian business audiences.

He has hosted Brown & Hurley’s 80th anniversary dinner, the AWCI trade awards and Bridgestone’s 300-guest gala, and performed for Telstra, Woolworths and AMP. He keeps an event running to time and he is the funniest person in the room.

He works just as well in a black-tie ballroom as he does in front of four hundred tradies. Gala dinners, national industry awards, conferences, festivals, Christmas parties and sports lunches, Rob has hosted all of them, and he is at his best in the Rob Brown is a corporate MC and comedian with more than twenty years in front of Australian business audiences. rooms other MCs find hard.

His composure is not a stage trick. Before comedy, Rob spent more than a decade as a maximum-security prison officer, trained police recruits in Iraq and managed security operations in Afghanistan. A run sheet twenty minutes behind, a speaker who does not show, or a room that has been at the bar since five, none of it rattles him.

Rob is also a genuine international headliner, with seasons in Singapore, Malaysia, New Zealand and the UK and performances in the US, playing rooms where nobody knows him and the material has to work on its own.

As MC he prepares from a full briefing, introduces every speaker properly, keeps sponsors looked after, supports fundraising and auctions, and holds the energy between segments so the night never goes flat. He trained in improvisation at the Upright Citizens Brigade in Los Angeles, the school many Saturday Night Live performers came through, so a collapsed run sheet just becomes material.

As a comedian he writes for the room he is walking into: clean where it needs to be, sharper where it can be, and never at the expense of your people.

Rob has also shared stages with sports legends such as Alfie Langer, Andrew Voss, Fatty Vautin, Jeff Thomson and Chris Lynn, and is a regular on the sports lunch circuit around the country. 

Screen credits include The Footy Show, Mercedes-Benz and Miller Lite.

Everything was punctual, he presented our function very well and said the right things about the guests that he introduced to the stage for their speeches. His comedy had everyone wobbling with laughter and was tasteful to the crowd. 

Brown & Hurley, 80th anniversary dinner

Rob controlled a usually very rowdy and hard to deal with crowd of tradesmen. He kept the evening on point and was very funny. We will definitely use him again next year. 

AWCI

He read the crowd, kept the event on time and rolled into each segment flawlessly. Importantly he was invaluable with our fundraising and paid for his fee just in his ideas on engaging with the audience.

It’s always hard to find an incredibly funny comedian that can deliver to a diverse audience, particularly at a conference event. The room was in stitches most of the evening, and we are a tough crowd. Thank you to Rob for completing the evening as our MC and entertainer.
