What Clients are saying

“Colm is a total professional to work with and a fantastic MC/host. 

He can control a room while keeping the crowd laughing, a real skill in itself!  Having worked with Colm for the last two years (2018/19), the feedback from guests at our event has been 100% positive, with many remarking he is the funniest host/MC they have ever experienced. I highly recommend Colm to anyone and I look forward to working with him again in the future.

— Una Fitzpatrick, Director, Technology Ireland

“Colm energised the room and was very funny without getting personal.

Ennis Chamber asked Colm O Regan to MC the 10th anniversary ‘Clare Business Excellence Awards’ and it proved a great choice. (2019) 

He is a consummate professional and is very easy to work with. We look forward to working with Colm again this year.”

— Margaret O’Brien, CEO, Ennis Chamber

“Colm’s act was highly entertaining, appropriately satirical, very funny and aptly pitched for a business audience. 

Colm O’Regan entertained  some 350 of our members  at our Christmas lunch in 2018.  Feedback from this lunch was so positive we asked Colm to do the 2019 Christmas lunch also! 

We have now asked Colm to host our Leadership Conference  in May 2020. With his former business background and quick wit – we have no doubt he will be a huge success.  We are very happy to recommend Colm’s work for the Irish business sector.  He’s great!”

— Conor Morris CEO, Executive Institute

“I would highly recommend Colm as a speaker to lighten up any serious business event.

We had the great pleasure of having Colm speak at our inaugural Sustainable Travel Ireland Conference in November 2019. Who knew that he was such an expert in STI’s? Seriously though, to be able to lighten up a conference that focussed on some of the most serious and formidable challenges or our time, including climate change and negative tourism impacts, was fantastic. We have already had several delegates request an encore from Colm at our conference in December 2020.”

—Rob Rankin, Sustainable Travel Ireland.



“Making someone laugh creates an instant connection between you and your audience. Colm O’Regan is a master in this form of communication.

Humour is a powerful tool for communicating intricate messages to a large demographic.

It allows him to convey the message of Clean Coasts in a fun and enjoyable manner.  His acerbic manner helps raise awareness of numerous marine environmental issues such as marine litter and Climate change.

The way he views and communicates the message of Clean Coasts is vibrant and energetic while being sincere and honest.

He is an amazing asset to have for the Clean Coasts program especially for the #2minutebeachclean campaign where he has worked with us on numerous video campaigns (2016-2019) to raise the profile of this simple but meaningful activity.”

— The Clean Coasts Team


”Colm is the utmost professional and brings great fun and laughter to any event.

Colm has worked with us on several corporate events over the last few years. From initial conversations and brainstorming, to meeting the client and getting a full understanding of their event and what they want to achieve, he is really involved from start to finish.

This attention to detail really shows on the night of the event when he engages with the guests and ties his comedy in with their company values, latest news and “inhouse” jokes. He’s happy to adapt to any situation and is a pleasure to work with. Looking forward to working with him again on many future events.”

— Gráinne Earley, Senior Project Manager, MCI Ireland.
