Arguably the UK’s number one ventriloquist, the highly talented America’s Got Talent winner Paul Zerdin will be the guest host for this year's Meat Industry Awards ceremony staged by Meat Management magazine, taking place in Birmingham on 15th September.
The last few years have been extremely busy for Paul, on both sides of the Atlantic. 2016 saw Zerdin head to the Las Vegas Strip for a headline residency at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. In 2017 and 2018, Paul appeared on spin-off shows America’s Got Talent: The Champions and Britain’s Got Talent: The Champions. Since then Paul has toured the US and UK with his critically acclaimed ‘All Mouth’ and ‘Puppet Party’ shows.
Paul made his TV debut back in 1993 as the host of GMTV’s Rise and Shine. He then went on to win ITV’s The Big Big Talent Show, hosted by Jonathan Ross.
Since then he has appeared on countless TV shows including The World Stands Up (Comedy Central), The Stand Up Show (BBC), Just for Laughs Montreal Comedy Festival, Comedy Rocks with Jason Manford (ITV1), Tonight at The London Palladium with Bradley Walsh (ITV1), Michael McIntyre’s Big Christmas Show (BBC1) and three appearances at The Royal Variety Performance.
Winning series 10 of America’s Got Talent in September 2015, Zerdin and his sidekicks soon went viral on YouTube, receiving millions of views from around the world.
Paul has just finished touring 'Paul Zerdin: Hands Free' in the UK which features brand new animatronics and he is looking forward to taking it to the US during 2022.
Paul returned to his favourite theatre The London Palladium in his 27th Christmas Variety Season for an incredible run of Pantoland alongside Donnie Osmond and Julian Clarey.
Commenting on the news, event organiser Sharon Yandell said: “We really are so lucky to secure Paul. He is an amazing talent and very funny. I can promise everyone a night to remember on 15th September when the industry comes together for its biggest single annual event. We are set for a sell-out occasion.”
