REVIEWS
We
enlisted the services of Paul Ego to MC our Air New Zealand staff, family
and friends ‘Live and Loud’ concert in Christchurch, on Thursday,
25 September 2008.
Paul was a great MC on the evening, he entertained an audience of 1500
with stand-up comedy and introduced the acts (Dave Dobbyn and The Feelers)
with much enthusiasm. From his background in breakfast radio, Paul was
also able to inject a few facts about each band prior to and post their
performances which made the connection between Paul’s role as MC
and the bands performing more noticeable. Prior to the evening, Paul was
also very easy to communicate with and was a pleasure to deal with regarding
what we required from him on the evening. We would recommend Paul for
further MC opportunities.

"First on the stage, Mr Paul Ego... co-host of the breakfast show on The Rock radio station... familiar comedy raconteur for many years and winner of the 2000 Billy T comedy award... and what an opening act he turned out to be. It is said that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but this man can take it and make it high art. Audience interaction, comedic spins on current topics and events, even a few snipes at famous people under the political spotlight...he had me laughing 'til I cried! Paul is by far the funniest ‘old fart' on stage in New Zealand today!"

“Paul Ego's set went down especially well with the crowd and made up most of the evening's entertainment. His fast pace, sarcasm and laid back style delighted the audience."
City Voice Wellington
“Paul Ego is casual to the point of brilliance. His manner and demeanour makes him a little different to other standup comedians and you can’t help but get dragged into his humour. Talented, diverse and with a strong stage presence, I applaud Billy T Winner, Paul Ego.”
Canta Magazine
“Paul
Ego must be the most relaxed comedian on the circuit.
He has enormous charm and a lovely mellow voice, especially when he pays
tribute to The Crooners, singing a catalogue of diseases in the style
of Dean Martin that is as sweet as any love song”
