• Robbie Nicol

      is a writer and presenter based in Auckland, New Zealand.

    • Ben Forman, CEO of Wrestler (Marketing Agency):

      "Robbie is a fantastic human who should be cloned and distributed throughout the land. His balance of wit and empathy flow effortlessly through his work, enabling him to connect with fellow humans on a deeply personal, yet entertaining level. Beyond Robbie's abilities as a writer and director, he's also a fantastic professional person. He turns up on time, looks great, smells great, and answers all the questions you may have with a quiet confidence that leaves everyone in the room feeling one step closer to success. I have never once in my life heard or said a bad word about Robbie, and let me tell you, I've heard and said some bad words. "

      Jacinda Ardern, Prime Minister of New Zealand:

      "Satire genius ... if the White Man Behind a Desk ever needs a white lady to sit on the other side of the desk (or some such) do give us a shout."

      Melanie Walker, Managing Director of Avenues Event Management:

      "What a highlight it was having Robbie Nicol to MC our showcase! Familiar with his stage performances and White Man Behind a Desk we knew we would be in safe hands. In the lead-up to our event he met with us several times and provided valuable suggestions as we worked though our plans. On the day he was well presented and extremely well prepared. Self-assured, interested and authentic, Robbie went out of his way to engage with our attendees and exhibitors. He provided great comedic interest throughout the day and his witty stand-up interviews were the best! All this before he even got to the MC part! We look forward to working with Robbie again."
