As a performer and presenter, Joel Jackson has wowed the likes of Premier Mark McGowan, ex minister of Foreign Affairs Julie Bishop, mining magnate Andrew Forrest, the Governor of Western Australia and many more for three years as host and performer at the Western Australian of the Year Awards, in 2019, 2018 and 2016. Joel was one of few WA Day Ambassadors which saw him perform at both the Western Australian of the Year Awards Gala and at the Elizabeth Quay Main Stage before igniting the fireworks that would celebrate the climax of the weekend’s celebration of this great state. Joel’s pride as a West Australian has shone through in more ways than one. Yes, as an award winning actor he has performed on every national television broadcaster in the country, but as a humanitarian Joel’s tireless efforts speak to the wonderful asset he is to this state.”

Joel Jackson is the ultimate showman, an amazing singer, host and human. Zero2hero were delighted to have Joel MC and perform at our inaugural Red Cape Ball. He did a fabulous job as our MC and his performance was heartfelt and memorable. What we loved about working with Joel is that he wowed the audience whilst on stage, but he didn’t stop there, he made a point of engaging in conversation with as many of our guests as possible. I would have no reservations in recommending Joel.”
