Watch the showreel of Graeme Bowman.
Graeme Bowman has over 40 years experience, his advantage over most other speakers & entertainers is his versatility; eg as well as giving a comic hoax speech, he often serves as MC, communicating key messages and helping to ensure the event meets its objectives.
Graeme has appeared at hundreds of conferences, awards dinners, product launches, special events and leadership retreats. Past clients cover all industries and sectors, and include IBM, Canon, KPMG, Pfizer, Westpac, BHP, Coca Cola, Shell and many professional associations and government bodies.
As a Hoax Speaker (Corporate Imposter) Graeme can become any ‘expert’ you like, and fool any audience you care to provide. Just watch their faces as the expert’s credibility gets stretched to breaking point.
As a Master of Ceremonies, Graeme loves taking a theatrical approach, weaving in original humour, poetry, impressions and characterisation. For example, his MC work often commences with an appearance by David Attenborough’s long lost brother’, Bruce, who delivers a hilarious, tailored routine about the evolution of your organisation.
Graeme often blends an MC role with a hoax speech, to create a Hoax MC – a proven hit at gala dinners and awards presentations.
A hoax can also be combined with a genuine keynote on creativity and innovation through his unique presentation, ‘Uncork your Creative Genie’.
Graeme also has a provocative, entertaining keynote – Pozzy to Cozzy – that pokes fun at the archaic ‘old boys club’ way of leading and working. Engaging this old white male to unpack patriarchy is an effective way to kickstart courageous conversations about shifting an organisation or industry away from a male-dominated culture.

What organisers say
"“His dual role as MC and entertainer managed to retain the interest of hundreds of staff. He delivered five times in five weeks, without missing a beat.”"
""Your impersonation of a Coca-Cola Vice President from head office in Atlanta seemed to have everyone fooled, yet despite their enjoyment of your antics the presentation of the 'serious' material came across very clearly. It was an innovative way for us to convey the necessary information in a fun and entertaining manner.""
"“Graeme joined us for a 3 day conference as our Master of Ceremonies. His style was a perfect mix of fun, comedy, creativity and seriousness, and his involvement was a big part in this year’s event being labelled the 'best ever'. Graeme also brought a number of hilarious elements to our Awards Dinner, and his hoax speech had a room full of geologists staring bug eyed at the stage wondering what on earth was happening. I would recommend Graeme to any organisers of large and complex events like ours.”"
""During ‘Uncork Your Creative Genie’, which combines a hoax speech with a creative thinking presentation, Graeme pretended to be a visiting American agribusiness expert. It was fascinating to see the expressions on people's faces as the hoax gradually unravelled - confusion, amazement and much laughter. Importantly, there were also valuable tips on how to think laterally.”"
