This morning I set up in the garden to #shoot #VideoReviews for my #NoLo drinks #podcast, @MinusHangover. For those of you wondering, we're *almost* ready to #relaunch after our hiatus to retool & rebrand it - watch this space! #minusthehangover

First ever #ParkRun... And pretty pleased with my time and ranking. 29:37, 21st for age and gender. As I never really run for distance, it's easily my #PB... And something to aim for next time. 🥵

As part of my recent rebrand as The Event MC, I'm pleased to launch my brand-new #LookBook2026. online.fliphtml5.com/TheEventMC/h... And if you're an event planner or agent etc, and would like a PDF version for your clients, just let me know. #EventMC #MC #Host #Compere #Presenter

It actually happened. Sat on the train, heading home after today's gig, and a stranger asks if I'm an actor... We couldn't place where he knew me from, but I'll take it, dammit. For more on my work, see www.eventmc.uk #eventmc #MC #Host #compere #presenter #actor

London-bound for a job with #AtomicBee, some of my favourite people that I haven't seen since... Christmas? Where has half of 2026 gone? Shame about the drizzle, but all set for a fun and full-on day ahead. For more on my work, see www.eventmc.uk #eventmc #MC #Host #compere #presenter

So proud of the work I did with #Blondefish for #Philips at #EuroPCR2026 in Paris last month - and thrilled to be included in the #teamphoto. To be included in this way speaks to the bond forged on these conferences. Love it! For more on my work, see www.eventmc.uk #eventmc #MC #compere #presenter

Cue the obligatory luggage shot as I wait for my train, the first leg of my journey to #paris and the #EuroPCR2026 medical conference for #Blondefish and #Philips... And my train is already delayed. Hey ho! Looking forward to launching the show on Tuesday. #Eventmc #MC #Host #Presenter #europcr

Proof! (Although admittedly a bit "blink and you'll miss it" - I nearly did) Just a shame about the rain. What was that Crowded House song again? #eventmc #MC #Host #presenter #EuroPCR2026 #europcr #blondefish #Philips #paris

Final day at #EuroPCR2026 in #Paris with #Blondefish for #Philips - and what a fab few days it has been, despite my croaky voice. And so nice to be welcomed back by Philips like an old friend - and already talk of the next trade show. Count me in - can't wait! #eventmc #mc #presenter #host

Absolutely thrilled to return as #MC for the amazing #QueensJoust at the incomparable grandeur of Leeds Castle, Kent. It's going to be a fantastic 3 days in perfect weather. Love it! With thanks to Griffin Historical. #eventmc #host #compere #presenter #jousting #joust #footcombat #skillatarms

Day 2 of the #QueensJoust at Leeds Castle as our 3 teams battle for the #leedscastleinternationaljoustingcup. With thanks to Griffin Historical. For more on what I do, see www.eventmc.uk. #eventmc #MC #host #compere #presenter #leedscastle #jousting #joustingtournament #footcombat #skillatarms

And that's the #queensjoust at #LeedsCastle all finished - with an amazing victory for England in the #internationaljoustingcup. So much drama, spectacle & fun, it's been such a privilege to #host this world-class event to thousands every day. www.eventmc.uk #eventmc #presenter #compere #joust

What with a week in #Paris with #Blondefish for Philips, then #LeedsCastle for the #queensjoust, this tired, unfit, and now sweaty & out of breath guy has hit the gym. Half way through. Pooped. But still going. For more on my work, see www.eventmc.uk. #eventmc #MC #compere #presenter

Welcoming the newest addition to the family! So I can finally begin retraining my voice at volume - after throat cancer in late 2024. And she plays a treat! 😎 For more on my work, see www.eventmc.uk #EventMC #MC #Host #Compere #Presenter #newguitar #roadtorecovery #throatcancer #cancer #Singing

Spending a few weeks tackling my To Do list - it's going to take me that long to work through it. But today, a fab #booking to return as #Host for the #HighWycombeChristmasLightsSwitchOn in Nov - with thanks to the lovely #AtomicBee. Can't wait! :-) #EventMC #MC #Presenter

It ain't all work... 😎

Pleased to say I've just had confirmation for a FAB #corporate #MC role this time next month. As ever, I'm sworn to secrecy, but it's a goodun - & in another FAB city. It really feels like things are building in the right direction. 😎 #EventMC #MC #Host #Presenter #Booked

Must be on a roll! Just #confirmed my 3rd BIG #booking for the year with a key client. As ever, my lips are sealed, but it should be an absolute blast - and I can't wait to share details... All in good time! 😉 #EventMC #MC #Host #Presenter #InteractiveExperiences #Booked

I'm lucky to have regular jobs to keep things ticking over - and yesterday, I spent the day delivering #scienceworkshops for #HandsOnScience. It's not all exotic locations, audiences of 1000s & high-octane action - but every bit as satisfying. #EventMC #MC #Host #Presenter

All packed & ready to go. I've had to keep this one under my hat, lest the dreaded competitors work out what we have planned. But all will be revealed soon - this is a BIG ONE. #Eventmc #Presenter #host #MC #interactiveexperiences #Productlaunch #Goingwheretheworktakesme

Arrived, firmly installed in my hotel, and about to be fed and, er, watered. And as a clue where I am, this wine is local... And bloody fantastic. #perksofthejob #Eventmc #presenter #host

Final day at #ECR here in #Vienna, and a little time to reflect on what a great event it has been... With thanks to #blondefish and Philips. #Eventmc #MC #presenter #host #ECR2026

So my Austrian adventure ends - 4 days #presenting at #ECR for #Blondefish & #Philips, plus co-hosting a special event at the Natural History Museum, & 2 nights with good friends. Sad to be leaving, but looking forward to seeing family again. #ECR2026 #presenter #eventmc #mc #host

Just had a (very probable) gig come in for late July. Can't share details as waiting for sign-off, but it's a job I've done before for people I really like. Should be fun. I'm still in winter mode, now thinking about high summer. Mad. #booked #Eventmc #events #hosting #presenter

Just saw this gem of a phrase on a #castingcall for a #presenter: "Unfortunately as this is a corporate client within real estate we cannot accept applications from people with beards." The mind boggles. #accidentalpartridge

First time back at the gym in a few weeks. And I think I've cracked it: if I DON'T put the weight up, and if I do LESS reps, then it's actually really easy. #nailedit

Shout out to everyone who came to #cancerincommon on Saturday. So nice to chat with such inspiring & friendly people. And wonderful to see so many new faces - who knew that having had cancer could bring such positivity in your life! #cancerincommon #cancer #livingwithcancer #community

Spent a surprisingly tiring day on #medicalroleplays at the Royal Alexandra Children's Hospital in Brighton. And on a Sunday, too! The cheek of it. I'm pooped! Luckily, it was a day spent with nice people - and nice and local. 😊 #actor #jobbing #roleplay

Cheeky #acting #selftape for a #commercial just come in, recorded and uploaded in less than 10 minutes. Not bad. Nothing like striking while the iron's hot. Fingers crossed and all that. #actor #jobbing

Just #guested on (yet another!) #podcast. Can't give details yet, but our time zipped by. And we got into A LOT. It'll be a belter when it lands next week. As ever, WATCH THIS SPACE. #Eventmc #Cancer #throatcancer #cancersurvivor #creative #actor #musician #singersongwriter #presenter

I missed it, but here's to everyone fighting the good fight on #worldcancerday. Here's a montage of photos I put together for my #newwebsite. Even though I've got the #allclear, my #cancer is a HUGE part of why I'm turning towards my #eventmc work. Sending positive vibes to everyone who needs it.

On set for a #commercial #shoot today (can't say what!) with A LOT of extras, in #Shoreham so nice and local. Meeting lots of new people, plus some welcome old friends, and drinking tea... It ain't all bad 😉 With thanks to @FreshAgents #actor #booked

@eventmcuk.bsky.social In as much as "New Year, New Me" applies to the metaverse, I'm #rebranding as #TheEventMC. My other work hasn't ceased; I'm simply making #events my focus - and will unveil a new website & sizzlereel soon. Check it out: www.linkedin.com/in/christoph... #compere #MC

Check it oooouuuttttt! And please give my alter ego @eventmcuk.bsky.social, and @mattsoutham.bsky.social, a follow! 😎

Spent a fascinating afternoon in #consultation with a well known children's #charity (my lips are sealed!), looking at audiences & honing their messaging - both of which are in my #creativewheelhouse. Amazing insights & some real headway made, I think. Feels good to do some good. #manystrings

For more cutting/questionable repartee such as this - and much more exciting posts, I promise! - please give my Event MC account a follow. #coolaccountsnottaxaccounts #sorrynotsorryHMRC #eventmc

And if you're not following my ‪@eventmcuk.bsky.social‬ account... WHY ON EARTH NOT???!!! You know what to do.😀

Had a fab time yesterday on #balancedambitionpodcast. What a skilled and insightful interviewer @mattsoutham.bsky.social is - BIG THANKS. Expect chat on #creativity, factoring yourself into #life&work, facing off #throatcancer... We covered A LOT. #cancer #cancersurvivor #creative #eventmc #host

Today I'm having all the fun of the circus! But replace circus with switching internet providers. And change fun to smashing my head against the wall. #modernconveniencesaregood #untiltheyrenot

#2026 is set to be a fab year professionally, with some cool #gigs already #booked and so many creative irons in the fire. Check out my latest @LinkedIn post to see just what all the fuss is about. #EventMC #compere #host #presenter #podcast #events www.linkedin.com/posts/christ...

Honoured to be confirmed as a guest on top #podcast #BalancedAmbition, hosted by my old school classmate & creative hero Matt Southam - recording next Wednesday. Can't wait. I'll share the episode when it's ready! Check it out - balancedambition.co.uk/podcast/

If you saw my post earlier, you'll know why. And if you didn't, too late. Because it's all very hush-hush! So without going into detail, today I had a very cool confirmation for a very cool job in a very cool place. Beyond that, my lips are sealed. #Eventmc #host #presenter #liveevents #booked

Oof. Shoulders ruined. #gym

Here we go again... And predictably, the #gym is absolutely rammed. That'll teach me for chilling thus morning instead of getting up super early like normal and hitting it when it's dead. Speaking of dead, straight in on deadlifts and a hardcore back workout - my first in months. Ouchies again.

First time back at the #gym in over a month, and the sign on the wall says it all. Ouchies all round. But actually, a pretty decent return session. Like the old adage goes, you get out what you put in. #tooearlyforcliches

In case you missed it - it's still (kinda) Christmas, after all! So go on, give yourself the gift that keeps on giving...

Ho ho ho - it's the #minusthehangover Christmas Special! Christophe & Pete guide us through the best #nolo drinks at #Christmas - plus tasting #Nozeco 0.0% #BucksFizz, #LidlUK’s 0% aperitivo #Cedrata & #LuckySaint’s 0.5% #LemonLager. Listen wherever you get your podcasts. #afdrinks #newpod

As a #jobbing #actor, I crop up in all sorts of places - including last night, apparently... On #MickyFlanagansChristmas. I have ZERO memory of shooting this. And seeing as I'm clean shaven, it must have been about 10 years ago... #acting #tv

News flash! #Chicago in late November is cold! But it didn't stop me trekking back to my hotel on foot after today's final rehearsal for my 2 #RSNA shows starting tomorrow. Can't wait to get going on it, but I might just cab it there in the morning... #TheEventMC #hosting #LiveEvents #MC

It's all guns blazing as we start day 3 at #RSNA in #chicago, hosting live presentations for @Philips. And to give an idea of scale, here's a clip of the crowds my amazing colleagues Keith Maynard & Rebecca Dyson-Smith drew for one of their shows. #Eventmc #presenter #liveevent
