Host and Emcee

Andrew Phung is a natural fit as an emcee and host for both in person and virtual events. His upbeat and easy-going personality has been a hit at numerous engagements, including non-profit fundraisers, youth-focused sessions, and awards ceremonies. Phung’s comedic improvisation skills mean he can easily adapt on the fly, and his experience on both stage and screen ensures comfort in all kinds of settings.

In the heart of our Midway Andrew Phung has become a regular fixture at the Calgary Stampede, lending his voice and unique personality to of one of our busiest programs for four years running. He is skilled with the microphone, poised, well-spoken and highly engaging. What I most admire about Andrew’s performance, is his ability to get the audience working with him as he builds their energy. Andrew is always a pleasure to work with, and very well prepared to take on anything we throw at him.

I’ll never forget it. Andrew was emceeing a student pitch contest for us. One of the students lost their train of thought and froze. An awkward hush fell over the entire room – that is, all except for one. Andrew yelled “you got this!” The audience cheered, the student recovered and even went on to win. A host that engages the audience throughout, is hilarious, and can even save the day. That’s Andrew Phung.

Trico Charitable Foundation

Andrew connects with people. He seems to have a special ability of breaking down borders between the stage and the audience, striking a perfect balance between humour and professionalism; with Andrew at the helm, your show will run to the schedule but it’ll also be funny. He’s quick on his feet and easy to work with while you’re planning your event. Hiring Andrew to MC one of our student challenges was one of the best decisions we made in our planning.

J.W. McConnell Family Foundation

Andrew’s energy, enthusiasm and professionalism engaged our audience of nearly 300 people and brought the personality of our brand to life. We couldn’t have picked a better emcee to host a very important event – the official launch of our new business, Alberta BoostR, ATB’s crowdfunding platform. From the first time we met Andrew, we were drawn to his upbeat personality and the understanding he’d already developed of our company and what we were looking for in an emcee. Not only was Andrew great on the stage, he was also a wonderful collaborator, providing insights and advice on the flow of the event, which contributed to us putting on a better event. We were happy but not surprised when several of our guests commented on the incredible emcee and his talent at being relatable, humorous and professional. We’d love to stay in touch with Andrew and highly recommend his talent to anyone who wants to put on an amazing event.

Alberta BoostR | Business and Agriculture

Our annual Small Business Week Awards Show was hosted by the incorrigible and energetic Andrew Phung ; we can honestly say that was the most fun we’ve had doing the wave at a small business show! The sheer volume of #SBWYYC selfies he had the crowd taking almost broke Twitter (at least, we like to think so!)

Calgary Chamber of Commerce

Andrew brought life to our event with his quick wit, charm and confidence. We had a few hiccups, but he was able to think of his feet so it seemed like we had zero. Over the next few days, we had many compliments from attendees that were directed to him – even calling him the star of the show! I would definitely recommend him and use him again!

Digital Alberta Board Member, 2015 Digital Alberta Awards

We booked Andrew and his improv partner Renee to perform for us at our biannual update meeting for staff. Andrew and Renee found exactly the right balance of playful teasing of our municipal government ways and educating our staff on our key messages. The pair recalled all of the insider info we had fed them and weaved it into their skit seamlessly, and the audience really enjoyed the show. Thank you for making us look so good!
