About

Joel was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico and started pursuing acting and standup comedy work in his high school years. He attended Pepperdine University and graduated with both Theatre Arts and Telecommunications degrees. Out of college, he plied his craft in TV, film and theatre and began DJing on the weekends as well as studying improv at The Groundlings and taking the stage at some iconic comedy clubs (Comedy Store, Improv, Laugh Factory). He discovered live event hosting when an event planner asked if he could Emcee an event. “Sure!” He then discovered hosting live events combines all of the skills he had been training in his whole life.

Since then, his Hosting has literally taken him around the world, from private cruise ships in the South China Sea to the Seine in Paris to the beaches of Cancun, military bases in the Middle East, to all 50 US states and over 35 countries. He has hosted for the most intimate private parties to huge gatherings of Fortune 500 companies, from 20 people to 20,000.

Any event you can name, he’s hosted it: Awards galas, charity auctions, team-building, Q&A’s, beach games, game shows, sporting events, pep rallies, industry panels, multi-day conferences, incentive trips and even Drag Queen Bingo (alongside a drag queen). His energy could be felt at the last 7 Super Bowls as both a key host for all NFL events and the Main Stage Emcee at the Super Bowl, activations and panels at respected multi-day conferences like CES and VidCon, and even as a writer/host/comedian at large industry awards galas. Some clients who have used his services more than once include Google, Apple, Delta, Nestle, Southwest, Protiviti, McKinsey, Facebook/Meta and many, many others.

No audience is too big or too small, he’s skilled at making the C-suite shine and he’s been honored to share the stage with names as big as Stevie Wonder, Clint Eastwood, Garth Brooks, The Backstreet Boys, Rob Gronkowski, John Legend, Bill Burr, ZZ Top and many, many others, whether via intro, as co-host or in a Q&A.

Joel's known for his energy, his ability to roll with a live event and it’s potential changes and his humor, which he maintains on- and off-stage.

He prides himself on being easy to work with and his mantra: If you’re not having fun, enjoying the moment and happy to be there, then what’s the point?

Testimonials

"I’ve had the opportunity of working with Joel on many occasions and every time he delivers. Even on the most challenging of jobs, with the toughest of rooms, he rises to the challenge every time, somehow finding a way to create bonds between guests that were formally not there. He adds life to every venue and can take the driest of conferences, turning it into a vibrant cocktail party even without the cocktails. He manages to get all engaged with his approachable and friendly style, a quality most of his contemporaries lack in their method. We have had Joel do demanding multi-day events with us and  even if he is exhausted,  we would never know; his talents as a host and MC consistently burst with energy and inclusiveness and yet somehow he always makes it seem effortless. I do not believe there is an event out there on which he would not be a valuable attribute."

"After doing one event with Joel, you’ll never do another one without him.  He’s the ultimate MC and a great addition to any celebration.  He’s absolutely hilarious, while still extremely professional, and he can keep any type of crowd engaged and entertained for hours.  I once told him 'just 5 more minutes' about 10 times in a row (50 minutes!) because the entertainment he was introducing wasn’t quite ready. He managed to riff and not only keep the attention of the guests, but have them in stitches the whole time.  We’ve worked together on corporate retreats, holiday parties, social events, and even a Zoom wedding, and he brought the same level of charm, wit, and utter entertainment to each. I can’t speak highly enough about Joel.  His presence elevates any type of event, and as a bonus he keeps you laughing the whole time."

"Joel Bryant is ALL-TIME.  There is no event he can't handle.  Whether dressed up for a fortune 500 corporate event or surrounded by rabid NFL Super Bowl fans, Joel always adds fun, brings the energy and keeps it professional no matter what.  He's the type of guy you hire first and then plan your event.  A rare breed indeed, there is nothing this man can't do with a microphone to make your event better than you ever expected."
