KEVINSPIRATION: THE SECRETS OF MY SUCCESS!
Anthony's hilarious impersonation of Australia's ex-Prime Minister and now high profile Foreign Minister, Kevin Rudd, is the stuff of legend! Another Prime Minister, one Bob Hawke (the real one!), referred to Anthony's Kevin as "The best impression in the history of Australian political impersonation". He may no longer be PM (at least at the moment !) but "Kevin" is funnier than ever!
Kevin’s new presentation entitled “KEVINspiration: the Secrets of my Success!” is proving a massive hit at corporate events. Not only does Kevin give you those precious success secrets but he also fearlessly delivers his up to the minute analysis of the current political situation and graphically reveals his true feelings about his fellow politicians!
Here’s a recent client testimonial: “It was an absolute pleasure to have Anthony and Kevin at our recent Hagemeyer Conference Summit. A fabulous speaker, who stole the show with an effortless portrayal and wonderful sense of humour and delivered exactly what was required; an essential component in what was a great event. If you want your staff to thoroughly enjoy your event invite Kevin.”
Mark Bilton, CEO Hagemeyer Brands Australia
When Kevin reaches the climax of his presentation audiences are left applauding, cheering, and yelling for more as Kevin unleashes singing and dancing talents few have ever witnessed!
"Just wanted to let you know that Anthony (as K. Rudd) was a ‘hit’ at our Innovation Awards last Friday. I personally revelled in his performance and was delighted with his professionalism and attention to detail. An outstanding talent to have on your books. Thanks, I hope to work with you again in the future."

"Anthony Ackroyd was recommended to me and performed to an audience of 40 sales professionals with very high expectations. Anthony's delivery was nothing short of sensational. He is a gifted comedian with superb talent and an innate ability to include the audience. Without exception my sales team were on a high after Anthony's act and to this day still comment on the night." Mars Confectionary of Australia
"The TCA asked Anthony Ackroyd to present his show as part of the Association's Annual Dinner. He had the full attention of the crowd of some 315 people who laughed and laughed and laughed. Surely the best possible recommendation for any comedian.
The response since that evening has been one of universal agreement that it was TCA's best event ever. I have no doubt that the performance of Anthony was the main reason for that. I therefore have no problems in recommending him to anybody considering using his vast talents." Territory Construction Association
