An hilarious after dinner speaker, Jim Hopkins
is famous (or infamous) throughout the far-flung reaches of New
Zealand for his work on stage, in television and radio. His ability
to script and tailor his presentations, an incredibly quick wit,
coupled with his genius for making people laugh, have made him one
of this country's most sought-after humorous speakers.
Jim Hopkins
has spent the best (or worst) part of 25
years in and around the electronic media - as a scriptwriter on
"Close To Home"; presenter of "Fast Forward", "Don't Tell Me", "The
Inventors", "Dateline Monday", a performer on The BNZ Festival
Debates and radio talkback host on Radio Pacific in Auckland and
Radio Avon in Christchurch.
This has meant that countless thousands have experienced the
possibly toxic effects of his high-speed larynx and unstable brain.
Not content with such electronic exposure, certain rash groups have
been known to risk direct physical exposure ... (rather like
tap-dancing with plutonium really) and knowingly allowed him to talk
to them in public. br>
IIn addition to being in demand as an after dinner speaker and
debater on any topic imaginable, Jim is also considered to be one of
New Zealand's top MC's and orchestrates many conferences throughout
the Pacific each year.
He can always be relied on to be politically incorrect, he
researches his audience thoroughly, and sometimes even the company,
and for this reason tends to be able to embarrass everyone, in a
nice way of course, from the CEO to the head waiter, or the head of
the waiter if you prefer.
Just to show how really versatile Jim Hopkins is, his first book "Blokes and Sheds", released
August 1998 hit Number One on the Best Seller list after only one
week.
He can turn his hand to any subject or topic and politicians are
particularly fair game not to mention easy prey, since they rarely
pray themselves, easily or otherwise, except in a heavy referendum.
If you're looking for someone just a little bit "different" then
Jim Hopkins is the man - sorry, person, for your
next conference, seminar or just backyard barbeque at which he
excels and burning the sausages on the outside without heating the
inside one little bit.

Jim Hopkins did an enormous amount of
background research. A week down the road and clients are still
talking about it. They enjoyed his address.

Jim was hilariously funny. He did a great job.

The presentation by Jim Hopkins exceeded
our expectations, he was great. Jim MC'ed
the evening for us perfectly. He was able to get the "feel" of the
audience very easily and he set the atmosphere to the light level.
