If change is a type of currency, Marty Wilson has been a very, very greedy boy indeed, as his enthusiasm for breaking new ground has led to him follow his dreams and successfully launch into a number of industries.
Marty was a Pharmacist who threw away the white coat to became an Award winning copywriter, working on blue chip accounts like Coke, the NRL and launching Aussie Home Loans. He then decided to chop off his pony tail and began a comedy career full of amazing milestones. In 12 months he went from debut open mike to appearing on The Footy Show; on the way winning the prestigious Green Faces in Canberra – the only national competition judged by audience vote. Then he chased a gorgeous English nurse to the UK where he worked as a headlining artist at all the leading British and Irish comedy clubs, including The Comedy Store, The Gleeclub and Jongleurs. He moistened underwear at the Melbourne and Edinburgh Festivals, and even at the Virgin Rock Festival in London, and appeared every in major comedy showcase in the UK; including Live at Jongleurs and The Comedy Store Live.
After marrying Allie, the aforementioned English Rose, and becoming a dad Marty totally lost his appetite for working every weekend, being on the road, and moved back to Australia to become a writer and speaker. He is now the best-selling author of 18 books, writes for Reader’s Digest, the Sydney Morning Herald and a dozen magazines, and regularly appears on Sunrise. He also has a children’s book coming out next year called “What do you want, the truth or a good story?”
Marty’s life experience, plus his interviews with over 1000 inspirational people for his book series, has given him a unique capacity to notice some profound truths buried in the even the humblest life story; and just as importantly, the skills to pass that wisdom on with integrity, empathy and great big slabs of gut-busting humour.
But Marty isn’t just the funniest speaker you’ll hear this year, he has developed a systematic process – based on mountains of scientific research – to teach your people how to use humour to short-circuit their inbuilt fears and anxieties about change and sales, leaving them able to think more clearly, stay solution focussed and perform at their best.
His keynotes and workshops are rammed full of scientific knowledge and takeaway tips and strategies – all wrapped up in countless hilarious stories – so your people can enthusiastic leap into the two biggest stressors of business in a less painful, far more productive way.

MC TESTIMONIALS
“I’d recommend Marty Wilson as an awesome MC for any event. He is calm, professional, incredibly easy to work with and instantly bonds with the crowd. He’s also flexible and happy to take on any challenge – at our event he actually compared two rooms at once, with the second staggered 15 minutes behind, and you could tell he loved he loved it. You can see all those years working as a comic in the UK as soon as he’s up on stage.
Where he gets his energy from I don’t know, but he has a sixth sense for knowing how to transfer it to the crowd and keep your conference bubbling along. When you add to that his ability to do one of his own keynotes, that slot in anywhere on your program, he is also incredible value for money.”
Louise Chamberlain, Director of Marketing and Business Building Programs

“Marty kept the entire evening moving along with his humour, while maintaining the focus on the fund raising purpose of the function. He read the night well, kept everyone engaged and he made an important contribution to the success of the evening.”
Max Gosling, CEO
Cure Cancer
“Thank you Marty Wilson, MC Extraordinaire. You ran the night seamlessly, took a noisy, rowdy crowd and controlled them beautifully and left all our members feeling so warm and welcomed.
The UK Comedy Club Joke Competition was something I’ve never seen an MC do before, it was an absolute hit with the crowd, you engaged with everyone in the room, got heaps of laughs and made them all feel part of the act.
Your consummate professional attitude took so much weight off my shoulders, allowed me to actually enjoy myself, and helped make our night a huge a success – the Board, CEO and guests all raved about the night and your MC skills. Feedback included compliments on how the event was kept running to a tight schedule and that you were very entertaining and comical – great praise indeed! I will be happily recommending you to event organisers in my circle and I hope we can work together again soon.”

Communications/Events Coordinator

“The light hearted yet thoughtful approach was the highlight of the conference. We are delighted with the extremely positive feedback we have had.”
Debra Cerasa,
CEO of the Royal College of Nurses
“How can we ever thank you enough? You absolutely made the evening with your comic genius and MC skills. We are still receiving glowing comments from our guests! Not sure whether it was your self-deprecating style, or perhaps the amount of alcohol consumed by our guests, but you were in fact relegated to what one might call ‘Superhero without the mask’ status… Wendy and I have both been asked many times post the dinner: ‘Who was that man? He was absolutely brilliant!’
We are so very grateful for everything you did for us, all the time and energy you devoted both pre and during the event to ensuring the flavour of both your MC duties and your keynote speech surrounding your experiences and insights as an author, fitted perfectly with the nature of the evening and guests. You pulled together every part of the night (and at times a rather rowdy crowd) with humour and style ensuring everything ran perfectly. Event organisers should have you on speed dial!”
