Kevin Lim is one of Canada’s most sought-after emcees, transforming live events into unforgettable experiences that audiences remember long after the final applause. Event planners rebook him year after year because he doesn’t just host — he elevates the entire experience with big laughs, original content crafted for each audience, and a genuine connection that makes every attendee feel seen and celebrated. From high-impact conferences and corporate events to award shows and energizing crowds of 15,000+ people, Lim creates moments that resonate deeply and leave lasting impressions.

Lim’s signature authenticity, adaptability, and creative edge were forged by a 20-year career as a nationally syndicated morning radio and TV host across platforms like KiSS RADiO Vancouver and Toronto, 102.7 The Peak, and Citytv. His show, Kevin & Sonia, earned him top recognition as “Performers of the Year” by the BC Association of Broadcasters, establishing him as a trusted voice in Canadian entertainment. As a voice-over artist and voice actor, Lim has lent his talents to global brands including Disney, Nintendo, KitchenAid, Dr. Pepper, and Samsung, while starring in blockbuster video games like Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora and Warframe, enjoyed by millions worldwide.

Client reviews

  • Kevin was the shining star of our organization’s 61st annual conference in Vancouver. His presence transformed an already successful event into an unforgettable experience.

    Kevin’s infectious energy, wit, and charm lit up the stage throughout the event, but his impact was felt long before the spotlight hit. His pre-event brainstorming sessions were a treasure trove of innovative ideas, and his genuine enthusiasm made collaboration an absolute joy. Audience feedback spoke volumes; while past years have seen praise for keynote speakers, this time the resounding demand was for Kevin’s return as emcee.

    Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend Kevin to any organization seeking a top-tier emcee/host.

  • I truly can’t give Kevin enough praise — 1000 thumbs up and smiley faces still wouldn’t be enough to express how amazing he is!

    His incredible ability to connect with the audience, magnetic charisma, and professionalism are truly unmatched, and every event professional should have the opportunity to experience what it’s like to collaborate with Kevin.

    What truly sets Kevin apart is the effort he puts into preparation and his deep research into the organization and its goals — that level of prep makes event planners’ lives so much easier.
    Working with him for our BOMEX National Awards Gala exceeded every expectation, and his dedication to making the event extraordinary was clear at every turn.

  • If you need to amplify the impact of your next event, you need to hire Kevin Lim to be part of it.

    In my role, I have attended a lot of business-related events the last 25 years and in my experience, an engaging and energetic emcee can dramatically increase the entertainment value for the audience. However, only a special individual can really pull that off.

    Recently, I had the chance to attend a Business Excellence Awards event, and quickly realized that the event’s emcee, Kevin Lim, was one of those individuals. He was able to instantly and effectively engage with the audience in such a way that I had not witnessed for a long time — so much so, that we hired him to emcee the 20th anniversary celebration for our River Rock Casino Resort a few weeks later.

    And did Kevin deliver. He was funny, engaging, and most importantly, involved in the creative process, coming up with several ideas that were “on brand” and incorporated into the event. He didn’t merely show up to read off of a script; he took the time to learn about our objectives with the event, our audience composition, and the background of our business. The net result was an event vastly better than what we could have originally imagined.

  • Kevin Lim is the emcee you never knew you needed… until you work with him, and then you can never imagine hosting an event without him. Kevin doesn’t simply emcee, he tells a story. With research, creativity, and undeniable talent, Kevin crafts captivating content that will leave your attendees thoroughly engaged and entertained.

    Kevin understands the importance of including attendees in the program, being relevant to the audience’s industry, and the impact of being willing to have a little fun on stage. And his dedication to his craft doesn’t just start when he arrives at an event.

    Kevin is engaged with you months in advance, willing and eager to understand the purpose and objectives of the event. There is a tangible care and curiosity that Kevin brings to the table, that allows for a truly elevated emcee experience. His deep care for people is evident the minute you begin working with him and shines through in every step of the process. He’s intentional, committed, and charismatic — I cannot recommend him enough.

  • I have worked with many emcees through my career, and I was blown away by the amount of research and dedication Kevin put into our Awards Gala event.

    Right from the start his questions were specific and thoughtful; he really commits to getting to know his audience in advance of hosting them.

    Kevin is an engaging, professional and entertaining emcee; I have already booked him for another upcoming event! 10/10.

  • This was the first time we engaged a professional emcee for our annual industry conference, and WOW! What a difference! Crowd energy was higher, Kevin kept us tighter on time and was incredible about keeping up with very industry-specific topics during panel discussions to drive discussions that were relevant and engaging.

    His time pre-event spent researching presenters and the industry as a whole showed. Kevin could demonstrate genuine appreciation for the work those in the crowd did yet was not seen as an outsider.

    Kevin not only emceed the entire day’s event but then emceed the gala dinner and provided the entertainment portion of the evening. Feedback was nothing less than fantastic; his engaging enthusiasm was contagious, and guests had a wonderful time.

    A survey respondent summed up the way in which Kevin elevated our conference eloquently:
    “Now established as one of three or four “must attend” events in [the] Canadian dairy industry and THE event for Western Canada.” We very much look forward to working with Kevin again next year!

  • Kevin Lim was once again the incredible emcee for our Annual Fall Awards Gala and we honestly can’t imagine hosting this event without him!

    His professionalism, experience, and innovative ideas set him apart, making every aspect of the evening run smoothly and flawlessly. From start to finish, Kevin was instrumental in ensuring the success of our gala. He didn’t just step in as the emcee — he helped with countless details behind the scenes, offering insights and suggestions that took the event to the next level. His extensive network connected us with some truly amazing partners, adding an extra layer of excellence to the experience.

    On a personal note, Kevin’s calm and composed presence was a game-changer for me. Planning a big event like this can be stressful, but Kevin’s steady demeanour and confidence helped keep me calm and focused throughout.

    Kevin’s engaging energy and natural charisma were the perfect match for our event, and it’s clear our employees felt the same way — many were excited to see his familiar, friendly face back on stage. He’s not only an exceptionally talented and entertaining emcee but has truly become part of the Prospera family. Thank you, Kevin, for making our gala an event to remember!

The level of energy and enthusiasm that resulted was unlike any other corporate event I have ever been a part of! His professionalism, collaborative approach, contagious energy, and wit formed an instant bond with our audience of 250 people.

    Prior to the event, Kevin took the time to learn about our company, our industry, our awards program, and the people being honoured. Combining the information we provided with his own research, he was able to provide an experience that was uniquely ours! Furthermore, his knowledge of our company and his ability to think on his feet, resulted in some great spur-of-the-moment exchanges with our executives and award winners.
