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

Been flat out since I got back, but happy to share some photos from #RSNA in #chicago with simply the best set of colleagues and the amazing #Blondefish and Philips. What a week it was - the photos don't do it justice. #Eventmc #hosting #presenter #liveevent #TheEventMC #MC #liveevents

Check out my latest podcast - it's a pretty fun and lively chat, and you may just learn a thing or two! :-)

Oooohhhh...!!! Check it out 🙂

Guess who's back at #BattleAbbey this half-term - #MANDRAKETHEMENTALIST! If you've been before, fear not - no, do! - because Mandrake has plenty of new stories to explore, plus some old (undead) favourites. It's a #Halloween #Spooktacular! www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/whats-...

And just like that... #NewPodcastAlert! Christophe & Pete continue their history of #NoandLow alcohol drinks + tastings of @StPetersBrewery's Without Gold, Saint-Omer Panaché & @J2O Mocktails White Peach & Mango Daiquiri Listen wherever you get your podcasts! #nolo #AFdrinks #minusthehangover

Last-minute #job came in at 9pm last night, so I'm London-bound for what should be a fun #gig in Shepherds Bush... So that's childcare sorted + lots of running about. And assuming my train ever arrives - delayed before I even set off. They don't make it easy, do they?

"To booze or not to booze, that is the question." Pondering the #SundayBoozeQuandary? Check out the latest episode of #minusthehangover for some #Inspiration on some non-boozy drinks to help make the most of your Sunday. #nolo #afdrinks #alcoholfree #ICYMI

In case you missed it, Episode 5 is out now - and it's a non-boozy doozy! #afdrinks #nolo #podcast #minusthehangover

#NewPodcastAlert! This time, Christophe & Pete explore the #history of #NoLo drinks - plus tastings of Sharps Brewery's amber ale Doom Bar Zero, Mexican lager Corona Cero & Italian ‘non-alco-peritivo’ Crodino. Listen wherever you get your podcasts! #AFdrinks #minusthehangover #noandlowalcohol #pod

So ends #ERSCongress2025. What a fantastic week it's been, and a real honour #hosting such a cool #interactive #experience with @theblondefish for @philipshealthuk. Big thanks to the whole team for keeping it fun - onwards to the next one in Chicago! #EventMC #presenter

#Day3 of #ERS2025, and time to celebrate the real stars - the team @theblondefish & @philipshealthuk who work so hard to get the show going. I don't have a shot with them all, but here's the awesome Lia & Fiona from Blondefish - such a lovely bunch. #MC #host #presenter

1st run through today for the upcoming #conference #experience I'm hosting in #Amsterdam later this week for @philipshealthuk, and a big ol' thumbs up from the team. All coming together nicely - can't wait to get there & bring another amazing expo to life. Love the buzz of #live #events #MC #host

Not the best start to #ERS2025 - flights cancelled, so car left, Piccadilly to Kings Cross, and a long queue for a hastily booked #Eurostar to #Brussels and onwards to #Amsterdam... Big respect to the @theblondefish team for sorting everything! And my 1st Eurostar too! #MC #host

After yesterday's cancelled flights, replacement Eurostar, taxis & extra trains, today has been awesome. A whole day to rehearse my interactive video show for @philipshealthuk & @theblondefish at #ers2025 in #Amsterdam. Live tomorrow & ready to go! Whoop! #MC #presenter #host

With #day1 of #ERS2025 in #Amsterdam a storming success, it's on to #day2... Not only delivering the #interactive #presentation to the audience, but filming too. And some major @philipshealthuk #bigwigs coming to check out the buzz. No pressure then! #MC #Hosting #Presenter

London-bound for another shoot with @ProstateUK - this time, shooting at #MillwallFC. Always nice to be asked back for more, and with such a lovely team to work with, it's a real treat. #actor #acting #ad #commercial

Just been #confirmed for another BIG conference with @theblondefish for @philipshealthuk - this time in #Chicago in November. We'll be bringing back an experience I worked on before, so must have done something right the 1st time. And my 1st time in USA! Very excited! #presenter #host #MC

ICYMI!

And just like that, another episode drops!

To celebrate the GREATEST sci-fi franchise of all (take a backseat, Star Wars!) on #StarTrekDay, here's a look back at one of my career highlights - and it wasn't even the real deal! But man, there's something about donning that uniform. Made this #Trekker very happy. #throwback #actor

In case you missed it, Episode 3 is out now. Listen wherever you find your podcasts... #nolo #minusthehangover #newpodcastalert

Check out my latest podcast on No & Low Alcohol Drinks - Episode 3 just released! #minusthehangover #nolo

Even though I've been working as an #EventMC for over 20 years on some very cool, very BIG gigs, it doesn't hurt to join the dots on my knowledge. So I've enrolled on an online #EventPlanningCourse - and loving it. #NeverTooOldToLearn #MC #Hosting #Events
