Geoff Whiting
Geoff Whiting, the founder of Mirth Control Comedy has established himself as a successful comedian and popular compere. His funny, strong, versatile act lends itself to any occasion. He has a wealth of experience in working at all the notable comedy clubs in Europe and many corporate and private events with audiences of 12 to over 1,000 people.
Geoff has supported Michael McIntyre, Harry Hill, Dara O Briain, Omid Djalili, Lee Mack, Ross Noble, Rhod Gilbert, Milton Jones, Micky Flanagan, Noel Fielding and Lee Hurst.
He has made regular appearances on TV and radio and is an excellent TV warm-up having cut his teeth on the BBC's Shooting Stars. Geoff performs at comedy clubs and corporate events across Europe: from Budapest to Guernsey.
​
Geoff is one of only a handful of comics worldwide to have performed stand up comedy in a pod on the London Eye (for the One Show) and was the first English speaking comic to ever perform at Club 99 in Bucharest, Romania.
​
When he's not performing, Geoff books other comedians into comedy clubs and has had the pleasuring of seeing many new acts, such as Jimmy Carr and Sarah Millican, build their careers over the years.

"We were most impressed with Geoff’s performance and professionalism and would gladly recommend him for this type of work. The audience on the night were pretty tough, but despite this he was a storming success and worked the crowd with confidence. With only a few minutes briefing, Geoff handled his compere duties with ease, ensuring a seamless link between the many audio/visual and award presentations. We would happily employ him again for corporate events, as he is not only professional but also very funny!"

"It was a really entertaining set, pitched at exactly the right level and you had the audience on your side within seconds. I was pleased with the way you worked the ‘Driver Hire’ references into your material without going over the top or spoiling the flow of your original material. I guess this comes down to a combination of natural talent and your professionalism in preparing thoroughly for the event. Thanks again – it was great fun!" Richard Owen-Hughes - Group Marketing Director, Driver Hire Conference
