Guests at this year’s 33rd National Print Awards will be entertained by satirical media personalities from The Chaser who are set to host the dinner.
Julian Morrow and Charles Firth have impressive backgrounds in news and comedy, and are well known for the TV programmes The Chaser’s War on Everything and The Checkout.
National Print Awards chair Susan Heaney says the pair will embody the event’s chase for gold, and looks forward to the element of humour they will bring to the dinner.
“The chase for Gold will be foremost in the minds of the industry professionals who gather in Melbourne for the 33rd National Print Awards, so who better than The Chaser to head up the night’s entertainment,” says Heaney.
“While they may be seen by some as an unusual choice for a night celebrating excellence – after all, their corporate motto is striving for mediocrity in a world of excellence – but like most Australians we just love their particular brand of intelligent and irreverent humour and are very much looking forward to the entirely new slant they will inevitably bring to the National Print Awards.”
Tickets for the awards night are selling out fast, with less than 100 places left. The event will be held at the Plaza Ballroom in Melbourne on May 20.
