Connect with Elegant Experience < Back Mark Banks Gauteng Mark Banks is one of the most recognized and respected comedians of his time. In over 25 years of comedy, Mark boasts at least one new one-man show each year, of which he writes and performs all the material himself. Since his acclaimed inception to comedy, Mark has continuously played to packed houses nationwide. Widely recognized for his political satire and commonplace poke at the rich and famous, nothing and no one is sacred to Mark’s blatant humour. 

He says that the reason behind the silliness is that “it’s easier to look at the other side of things that don’t have another side, and if they don’t have one, invent one.” Notoriously un-PC, Mark claims to have started performing at the age of 11 when he was “able to balance an entire Zulu rondavel and its contents on his chin while singing ‘I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing’ by the then New Seekers.” His constant banter and uncontained one-liners have often lent him undeniable praise as MC for award ceremonies, corporate functions, banquets and conferences whereby he casually digs in to all and sundry with his potent brand of Banks humour.

Book the perfect speaker for your event today < Back Keith Barry (UK) ARTIST ENQUIRY I am interested in Select a date First Name Last Name Email Company Phone Submit Event details International As the world’s leading TV hypnotist, mentalist and brain hacker Keith Barry has been blazing a trail across the globe for many years. His mind-blowing skills have been showcased in over forty international television shows, including his most recent series, You’re Back in the Room. The first hypnotism format on TV in the UK for several years, this show garnered huge audiences and proved to be a big prime-time hit for ITV. Due to the unsurmountable success of the show Keith then went on to feature in the Australian and US versions. Both the Australian version (Channel 9) and the US version rebranded Hypnotize Me (CW network) were also very well received. Keith’s new homegrown Irish RTE TV series The Keith Barry Experience aired in the last quarter of 2019. Again due to popular demand a second season has now been commissioned. As well as his own hugely successful US TV series, Deception with Keith Barry, Keith has appeared many times on some of the most prestigious US shows such as The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Jimmy Kimmel Show and The Conan O’Brien Show. He has also brain-hacked many celebrities including Bono, Nicole Scherzinger, Morgan Freeman and many more. One of Keith’s recent projects saw him working as chief mentalist and hypnotist consultant for the blockbuster movie, Now You See Me. Shot in New Orleans and Paris, it starred Woody Harrelson, Morgan Freeman, Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo and Michael Caine and grossed over $360M at the box office. His huge success in working extensively with Woody Harrelson, who plays a mentalist, ensured he was hired as chief magic and mentalist consultant for the sequel, Now You See Me – The Second Act. He worked on this for almost a year, through its filming in London and Macau. Keith has written, produced and performed many of his own live stage shows over the last fifteen years and has sold out venues in the US, Australia, Canada, Spain, South Africa, the UK and of course his native Ireland. Many companies have engaged Keith to either host or perform his corporate entertainment show at their event. Keith’s performances (both live and virtual) involve him mixing a unique blend of brain hacking and visual magic to blow the minds of his audience. They are also packed with audience participation, where Keith implants and extract thoughts and also predicts the behaviour of the attendees. Keith’s most recent virtual clients include Google, Amazon, PayPal, Dell and Facebook. Keith has presented at many conferences such as The Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity, The Pendulum Summit and TED, his TED Talk being in the top twenty-five TED Talks of all time, currently boasting over twenty-five million views. His keynotes are designed to be packed with takeaway content where he explains how to develop a growth mindset and achieve peak performance by reprogramming the subconscious mind. They are also designed to be an interactive, fun, immersive experience with plenty of audience involvement and brain hacking demonstrations to drive home the key touch points and takeaways. As a mind coach Keith has worked with many world class athletes, business people, influencers and actors to assist them in focusing and improving their techniques and strategies. Amongst Keith’s clients are two of Irelands premier rugby stars, Keith Earls and Rory Best. A true master of his craft, Keith has gained many awards over the years. These include the James Joyce Award in 2019, ‘Best Magician in Las Vegas 2009’, as voted for by The Las Vegas Review Journal and the prestigious ‘Merlin Award’ for Mentalist of the Year in 2009, joining the ranks of past recipients including Penn and Teller and David Copperfield.

Connect with Elegant Experience < Back Celeste Ntuli Gauteng Celeste Ntuli, the queen of the Zulu comedy and the first ever local female comic to record a one woman show DVD called Seriously Celeste which is a collection of her performances across the country. A full-time stand-up comedian for the past few years, Celeste Ntuli has come a long way since she was first discovered performing in a marquee in Durban about nine years ago. Born in Empangeni, after finishing high school she relocated to Durban to study entertainment technology at Durban University of Technology. Celeste attributes her success to the fact that she has no holy cows – stereotypes, relationships and social issues – no subject is taboo as far as she is concerned. Celeste had always been a joker, even at school, so it was no surprise when she decided to pursue comedy as a career instead. “I was always the class joker so when I saw a poster about a comedy show, I called the organizers and asked them to give me a chance to show what I could do,” she said.

Looking to hire an event MC? Book a skilled event MC to engage, entertain, and ensure your event runs smoothly. Connect with Elegant Experience < Back Miles Kubheka Gauteng KEYNOTE SPEAKER, AUTHOR, CELEBRITY CHEF, ENTREPRENEUR, COOK SHOW TV HOST AND PHILANTHROPIST Miles Kubheka, the entrepreneur, refreshing keynote speaker, and author, is the poster child for the audacity of hope. Having once been employed by a leading multinational, he went out on a limb and ingeniously created a restaurant with the same name and branding as a fictional restaurant portrayed in a famous ‘beeg beeg dreamer’ TV ad campaign. In doing so, he catapulted into media stardom and soon translated his innovative thinking into entrepreneurial success. When occupying centre stage at a business symposium and delivering a keynote, Miles has a clear message of hope for multinationals and small businesses alike. If you hire the right people with an entrepreneurial mindset, you can build new business models within your company, rather than have disgruntled employees leave and start a business in competition to your own. Miles is also a firm believer that entrepreneurial mind-sets can be fostered within an organisation. He encourages organisations to build a culture that supports employees to become intrapreneurs: people who behaves like an entrepreneur whilst being employed. While Miles’s compelling rags-to-riches story speaks to any audience – his message is universal – it serves as a platform from which to address some of the pressing issues in business today, such as competition, retaining good staff, changing company culture and investing in the future. Both an analytic and creative thinker, who holds a Master’s degree in Business and a post-graduate Business Diploma from a leading business school, Miles believes companies who want to generate wealth, rather than to preserve it, need to offer new products and services. He shares his vision with businesses that are ready to ‘think out of the box’ when it comes to leadership, teamwork, branding, and reputation management. In Miles’ own words: “It is okay to build a new business on the back of a legacy business – but will it look like lipstick on a bulldog or a new puppy? ”His accomplishments include starting a chain of pharmacies and co-owning an IT software solutions company. His never-say-die message about going back out there every day, even when times are tough (he almost experienced bankruptcy), is something all South Africans in the business world can relate to. Driven by tenacity, optimism, and self-belief, Miles is uniquely capable of inspiring audiences to dream big but execute with practicality. Accomplishments • He holds a Master’s Degree in Business from Wits University and a post-graduate Business Diploma from GIBS Business School. • Chef• Host of At The Table TV show, SABC 3 20:30. • Writes for Entrepreneur magazine. • Author of From A Big Big Dreamer to Living the Dream – Vuyo’s. • Became one of four independent Microsoft vendors in which Microsoft invested R100m. • Founder of Vuyo’s franchise.
