Hire Jackie
Emcee & event host
Someone has to run the room: the introductions, the awards, the raffle nobody planned for, the dead air before the toast. Hosting is the part she loves.
Send the date, the venue or city, the crowd size and the occasion. Replies come from Jackie herself.
What it looks like
- She works from your run of show and keeps it on time, filling the gaps with material rather than filler.
- Introductions, awards, transitions and the unplanned moments are handled with the same ease as the planned ones.
- A short set can sit anywhere in the program, or the hosting can carry the comedy on its own.
Good for
- Galas and fundraisers
- Awards nights
- Company kickoffs and conferences
- Wedding receptions and rehearsal dinners
- Community and chamber events
How booking works
Email the date, the city or venue and the audience size; you get availability and a quote back, a short call covers the room, and the date is confirmed in writing. The four steps, in full.
Common questions
What does an emcee actually do at an event?
She runs the room's clock. She opens, introduces each speaker or act by name, covers the gaps while the next thing is set up, keeps the announcements moving, and closes the night. The room hears someone in charge instead of a microphone changing hands.
How much comedy is in the hosting?
As much or as little as the evening wants. Some rooms want a host who is funny between the parts; some want a full set inside the program.
Will she work from our script?
Yes, and she makes it sound like a person wrote it. Send the run of show and the pronunciations.
Does she handle raffles and auctions?
She will host them and keep the energy up. For a live auction with real numbers, pair her with your auctioneer.
Can hosting be combined with a set?
Yes. Host plus a set is the most common booking, and it means one vendor for the whole evening.
