The Show
A fast-paced mix of comedy, ventriloquism and magic where your own guests become the stars. Big laughs from the first minute, and no awkward silences.
Works for 20 guests or 2,000, in English or Swedish, and adapts to your venue, schedule and crowd.
Master of Ceremonies
Need someone to hold the day together? John keeps your conference, gala or kick-off on time and on point, warms up the room between speakers and makes everyone, from the CEO to the new hires, feel part of it.
Booked as host and MC for international events across Europe, Asia and the US.
Corporate Show
Want your message to stick? John weaves your theme, product or company story into the show, so the audience leaves laughing and remembering what it was about.
Popular for product launches, trade shows, sales kick-offs, gala dinners and awards nights.
9,500 shows. 40+ years on stage. Zero awkward silences.
John Houdi is a ventriloquist with a twist: instead of a dummy, he turns people from the audience into his puppets. The result is the kind of laughter that brings a whole room together, from 50 colleagues at a team dinner to 1,200 delegates at a congress.
Clean, clever humour that works across cultures and never at anyone’s expense. Performed in English or Swedish, anywhere in the world.
