Thirty years in Australian media, author of 28 books for young people, and a warmly witty MC for corporate events
Andrew Daddo has spent thirty years in the Australian entertainment industry as a regular face and voice in the media — from kids' television to a stint as a VJ on MTV in New York, to Carols in the Domain, The Great Outdoors and two Olympic Games for the Seven Network, alongside television specials including World's Greatest Commercials and the Australian edition of Kids Say the Darndest Things. He has acted on stage and film, spoken to corporate audiences and school groups, and is the author of twenty-eight books for young people, many of which have been translated into languages including Portuguese, Korean and Japanese.
What makes Andrew a strong MC for corporate events is precisely the range behind that resume. He has spent decades reading rooms — from live television studios to school halls to large-scale entertainment formats — and he brings genuine warmth and quick wit that keeps any audience engaged without tipping into the purely theatrical. He runs events with professionalism and a light touch, managing time and programme flow in a way that makes the whole thing feel smoother than it probably is.
Andrew is regularly booked for corporate events around the country and is a natural fit for gala dinners, award ceremonies and conferences where the tone needs to be warm, engaging and just a little bit fun. His thirty years in the public eye means he arrives with genuine credibility and audience recognition — and his experience as a children's author and school speaker means he connects with people at a human level first. For event organisers who want an MC the audience already likes before he opens his mouth, Andrew Daddo is a reliable and experienced choice.

So great to work with, very personable and approachable. Injected his own personality and humour into the MC role and covered off everything we asked him to. Would definitely have him again at one of our events. A great fit for our event too!QBE Australia
Andrew Daddo was great in the way he worked the room, and really owned the MC role. He was very approachable, and made the room get excited for the game, and really get into it. He was also great with the kids in the room, and ensured they enjoyed the match as much as the adults!QBE Australia
