About Felix Uhlig, event host
First Tigger, then hotelier. Today your host.
Felix Uhlig, event host and MC based in Hamburg. On stage since 2010, in English and German.
First Disneyland Paris, where as Tigger I wasn't allowed to say a word. Then Marriott, where I learned how to read a room. It was not a straight path. In the end I needed every step of it.

What that means for your event
Three things that came out of that path
I watch the room, not just the script
Class clown, magician, Disney character, hotelier. Very different stations, but every one of them was about noticing what an audience needs right now.
A host, not an announcer
Marriott taught me that guests have to feel comfortable before they take anything in. That is as true on stage as it is at reception.
At home with the technology
I get on the same wavelength with the director, lighting and sound quickly, and with technical topics on stage just as fast. When it matters, that saves explaining time.
What others say about it
Three people who were there
Felix motivates the audience, brings everyone along and creates a fantastic atmosphere at the stand. Full of energy from the first day to the last. Really outstanding. Number one among hosts, full stop. Highly recommended.
Christine ClemenzEvent directorWhen our original host dropped out at the last minute, Felix stepped into the breach and proactively took over the briefing and the exchange with our speakers. Live on stage he did an incredible job. I cannot recommend Felix highly enough.
Dale RickertGlobal Head of Product – Greentech FestivalWe spent a long time looking for a good host. It clicked in the very first conversations. The briefing went smoothly and he got to grips with our subject straight away. And on stage it was clear: the stage is his. But he also makes everyone feel at ease.
Why tech clients book me
My first computer was a 386 running MS-DOS
Windows 3.0, hand-built websites, ICQ and MSN Messenger. And yes: a few small trojans I slipped to classmates inside image files, so that secret messages suddenly came out of their printer. Didn't we all do that? No? Oops. Today that helps me when I talk to your engineers. I don't have to learn the terminology by heart, I can ask, because the subject genuinely interests me. That usually takes the stress out of a briefing. On top of that: an Apple user since the first iPhone, driving electric for three years, and my home is fully automated – all of it built myself.
My path
From a school report to the stage
Not a straight CV. But every detour contributed something.
School
“He found it hard to curb his urge to communicate.”
That is what my school report says. I was the class clown, consistently. On the side close-up magic, later promotion work for a local TV station. A goal wall to shoot at, a stage, a microphone. I didn't know it back then, but the direction was already set.
Wales
English, not Denglish
Part of my family lives in Wales. As a child I spent almost every holiday there and for a while I even went to school with my cousins. English was never a school subject for me. You can hear that when I host bilingually, and today it is one of my strongest selling points.
Disneyland Paris
Tigger, Goofy, Captain Hook and not a single word
Character & Parade Department. Thousands of guests a day, and I was not allowed to say a word. That was quite hard for me at first. What I took from it: energy and entertainment have very little to do with volume.
Hotels
Marriott Bochum, then Scottsdale, Arizona
First bartender, then an apprenticeship as a hotel professional at Marriott, finished with the top grade. After that a year as a management trainee at the JW Marriott Camelback Inn Resort in Scottsdale. A year of nothing but English and five-diamond hospitality shapes you more than any course. And it was there that I understood what being a host actually means.
2010
Built a website, took photos, became a host
Back in Germany, a stop-off on a cruise ship, then the decision. No network and no agency, but a great deal of energy.
Today
From the trade show stage to the award gala
Tech conferences, product launches, panels, galas, trade show appearances. German, English, often switching within a single show. What has stayed the same: I like entertaining people. And I like winning them over.
Watch instead of read
Two minutes on stage
Clips from exhibition halls, conference rooms and gala evenings.

One more stage
Bezzer Quizzer pub quiz
In 2025 I founded Bezzer Quizzer GmbH with a partner. Public pub quiz events in cities across Germany, plus B2B team events in Germany and across Europe. I write the questions myself and host the Hamburg quizzes myself too. Simply because it is fun.
When the microphone is off
Garden, daughter, toolbox
My favourite time is spent with my family in the garden or out on trips. In between I tinker with the smart home, travel a lot and plan a YouTube channel that has existed only in my head for years. And honestly: that a love of talking turned into a profession still surprises me sometimes. I simply started. Today the stages are bigger than anything I imagined back then, and I stand on stage for brands everyone knows. I am proud of that.
