About Justin Karcher
Here we go, I’m told I need to write this in the first person (HE!) to ensure Google and all those hungry Oligarchs, like (and follow?) me! I must include lots of key words like Emcee, MC, Comedian, Adult Film Star, Blue Card Holder, Auctioneer, Interviewer, Promoter, Unrootable, Fundraising, Event Management and U13 girls soccer coach assistant. Did I mention Unrootable? Or Comedian? I get double brownie points now. Yippee!
Yes, I have been doing this for 25+ years, across 15 countries and helped charities raise over $26m. But, am I happy? No! Because I’m stupid. My girls ages are 25, 12 and 10. Someone went to prison eh? But I stuck by her, she’s a good woman (SHE).
Comedian
if what you have just read isn't funny, then I am not a comedian in your eyes. Bugger..
Emcee/MC
I know I rock at this and if you watch my testimonials you'll agree. If you don't then should you be the booking person?
Auctioneer
I hated auctions because they used to be about who has the biggest d***/wallet in the room. My goal is to not only garner the most $$ from the room (AKA fleece) but at the same time entertain the whole room, not just the 6 paddle/hand-up punters showing off. Auctions are still part of the nights' entertainment in my eyes.
Interviewer
time to brag.. I've toured the globe with Sir Vivian Richards, Joe Bugner, Bill Oddie of The Goodies (so much love), Campo through the UK where he is a god (I love Campo, get to know him personally and you'll love him too), Chopper Read (sleepless nights!). Met Muhammad Ali, Willie Nelson and many others. Whilst living, working and studying in Austin, Texas I've had the pleasure of having Dallas Cowboys Pro Football Hall of Famer Troy Aikman tell me to 'fuck off' at a fraternity party. I was an honorary member of the Delta Tau Delta chapter house in 1997; brushed shoulders with Matthew McConaughhey, a fellow Alumni; and drunkenly snogged Sandra Bullock! Ask her, it was a wild party on Lake Austin that she forgot very quickly when I arrived at her mansion the next day to move in. Read the room Unrootable Karcher! If my wife reads this, we only snogged!
Event Manager
Every gig I attend I make sure all facets - kitchen, AV, stage, seating etc - run to the itinerary. I consider that my responsibility as the MC of the event. See Webcke and Gillmeister testimonial video.
Promoter
Yes I have put the money up to bring Viv Richards, Brian Lara, Bill Oddie, Ambrose and Walsh, Joel Garner and many others to venues, clubs and pubs across Australia, the UK, the south pacific and Asia
Fundraising
$26m+ and counting for local causes and charities. Ask and I'll send you a comprehensive guide to help with your next event. It's FOC!
To continue my diatribe above. 12 and 10 year old daughters. 2 more teen girls in the making. We’ve been through it once and we came back for more punishment. I’m an idiot. If I disappear one day and my darling wife is the only suspect, give her a community service medal and move on. Nothing to see here!
The Mrs and I could be living it up in semi-retirement now, but noooo…I’ve got to work for the next 35 years to pay off the school fees, braces, cars, electric scooter fines, home loan deposits or these kids will never leave the nest.
BOOK ME, please! I need the money!
