After Dinner Speaker

Bruce’s illustrious after dinner speaking career, a contributory factor to his current girth, dates back to his school days. He was playing the lead role in Oliver Twist when, standing up after dinner he uttered the immortal words: ‘Can I eat the boy next to me?

As past president of Perth Speaker’s Club Bruce has won many awards for public speaking and debating within the Association of Speaker’s Clubs. His credentials for speechmaking are impeccable. In 2001 he was national speech competition winner for the UK’s speaker’s clubs. In 2004 he won all three local competitions and was runner up in the  UK final, representing North of Scotland.

In 2005 Bruce won Wag of the year at the Wag’s Dinner in Glasgow in Glasgow, an event which raised £31 000 for Epilepsy Scotland.

‘Bruce’s triple X charm and double-time delivery of banter and stories won him both the audience’s heart and a Glasgow Wags award. Although he competed with four other worthy after dinner speakers. Bruce is simply the best. ….. Alana Parker – Epilepcy Scotland

Since these early days Bruce has worked as a professional speaker, entertaining after business dinners, giving motivational talks, educating, chairing corporate days and conferences, compering cabaret shows and much more.

Public speaking takes him all over the UK, Ireland, Isle of Mann and internationally.
