Biography
Michael is without doubt one of Australia’s finest entertainers and impressionists with his character impersonations incredibly exact in sound, whether he’s in full costume – so he not only sounds like character but ‘looks the part’ performing dressed in full character costume - or whether he’s just throwing in a few ad-libs during a gala dinner.
He goes to incredible lengths to ensure clients and their guests are left totally entertained and blown away by his performance and impersonation.
His “Austin Powers" impersonation is arguably the finest in Australia - looking almost identical to the real Austin...and can perform a floorshow with a full cast of characters from the ‘Austin’ movies!
Michael has also rocked up to events as Jamie Oliver on a scooter - luvly dubly! - has mesmerised guests as he's stomped into a venue towering as the rock legend Gene Simmons (from Kiss), has burst into the room as Borat (complete with a clucking chicken in suitcase!) and his ‘James Bond - 007’ is impressive - and popular - due to his uncanny Sean Connery impersonation.
Many radio and TV campaigns have used Michael’s character voices, and his list of voices continues to grow - as does his list of original characters like Nugget, an Aussie/Miner character as well as Hal Capone, the NYCE Gangster (perfect for Cotton Club, casino themed, or 1930’s related functions).
His ability to understand client needs is ideal for corporate events, especially with tailor-made clean material and for this he continues to remain as an excellent choice as an MC/Host.
Michael’s professionalism, interviewing skills and broadcasting experience has seen him interview (for radio, television or public events) numerous well known personalities including Megan Gale, Australian recording artists Human Nature, Diesel, Tina Arena, US recording artists Alliyah, Blackstreet, Pantera’s Dimebag Darrell, members of KISS, to International and Australian motorsport legends, Sir Jack Brabham, Carlos Sainz, Peter Brock, Glenn Seaton, Russell Ingall and Larry Perkins, through to Brownlow medal winning AFL players Ben Cousins and Chris Judd....and the list goes on.
Some of the corporate clients Michael has entertained include Rio Tinto, Australia Post, Elders, CITIC Pacifc Mining, IOOF Holdings Limited, Transfield Worley, NAB, Stratco, Hawaiian Properties, Assured Hospitality Group, Royal Perth Hospital, Transport Forum, Stellar Call Centres, Walshs Glass, Australian Hotels Association, RAC, Adventure World, Schiavello and many more.
Michael’s presentation is warm and engaging, pleasant, very clear, and well spoken. This, together with his quick wit, friendly entertaining style and experience performing and entertaining corporate clients, councils and associations - is why Michael Elezovich is one of Australia’s leading and sought-after MC & character impersonators.
Testimonials
Mike was terrific. He played the part of Captain Jack Sparrow perfectly. He was very generous with his time, making sure that all our guests got photographs. He continued way past his allocated time. He is a great addition to an event.

Mike Elezovich was recently the Master of Ceremonies at our Annual Elders Real Estate Conference in Perth attended by 250 staff and partners. What a success! Never before have we received so many unsolicited positive endorsements from staff. Mike was a revelation and turned the generally mundane role of MC into a thoroughly entertaining presentation. His quips, anecdotes and jocularity made the evening the best we have ever had. MCs of your calibre and versatility are hard to find.

I cannot say enough about Michael. He was amazing in the way he got everyone going and kept the energy level up. The one-liners were hilarious, and he targeted everybody which really got things moving. He stayed way beyond what he was required to do and could not have done a better job. If anyone is looking for an act to get things moving, I would not hesitate to recommend him. I was so impressed with him I am finding it hard to come up with the words to say just how good he was.
