Can you imagine how novel it would be to see a Muppet-style puppet as your Master of Ceremonies or Event Compere, guiding you and your guests through your wedding reception, corporate function, product launch, film festival or awards ceremony? Picture it: A blue furry monster hosting your event, presenting performers, speaking to the audience, entertaining everyone, and generally keeping things moving. A witty, wise cracking Sesame Street style critter telling jokes and anecdotes. What a unique host! Troggg (with three Gs) is just the monster for the job.
As MC, Troggg (with the help of his handler, Brett Hansen) will keep everything at your event flowing smoothly. Troggg makes sure he knows exactly what is to happen when, where and with whom.
Troggg will also keep everything and everyone to time. We don’t want the event or the speakers to drag on and run overtime.
Troggg will get the introductions and protocol correct. He’ll introduce everyone who is about to make a speech or a toast. He’ll make sure he has sufficient information on all the relevant people, and that he knows what they are doing and when.
Troggg will ensure that he gets the titles and protocol correct for all the duties including the introductions. For example, his announcements may include introducing a toast to the bride and groom, calling upon the groom and bride to respond, inviting the parents of the groom to speak, inviting the bride and groom to the dance floor for the bridal dance, etc.
As Troggg does at his birthday party puppet shows, he will also build up a sense of whimsy and happiness at your corporate event, product launch, film festival, wedding reception or awards function.
He will encourage laughter, relax the guests, and relax the bridal party at weddings. In fact, Troggg is able to relax everyone there by using the power of humour.
Troggg will help your guests feel comfortable and connected. He’ll bring everyone together and help everyone get to know each other.
Troggg will keep everyone informed and tell them what is happening each step of the way.

“How good was Troggg? Big thanks to Brett Hansen from Larrikin Puppets for being our very entertaining MC for the night. Having a puppet MC made our unique festival even uniquer!” – Gregory Kelly, 2013 Brisbane Backyard Film Festival.
“The audience are introduced to Troggg, our host for the evening. He is a small scale Drew Carey as he presents a show similar to “Whose Line Is It Anyway”. Although the puppet show takes place in front of us, it is also projected onto a screen that adds to the effect. You begin to easily forget there are humans present.” – Medhavie Mendis, 2014 Anywhere Theatre Festival reviewer.
