Adam Abel
Public Speaker & Live Event Host
Engaging audiences. Raising Standards. Creating unforgettable moments.
⭐️ UK & Worldwide ⭐️ Trusted by Schools & Charities ⭐️ Professional & Insured
I host high-energy live events and deliver impactful talks across charities, schools and performance environments throughout the UK.
Everything I do is built on real experience, from adversity and endurance to leadership and performance under pressure.
Why I Do What I Do
Everything I do started with adversity.
Just one day after my 23rd birthday, I lost my mum unexpectedly to a brain aneurysm. Three days earlier, she had collapsed while out on a walk — and I performed CPR to keep her alive.
That moment changed everything.
Instead of allowing that experience to break me, I made a decision, to turn pain into purpose.
I ran my first marathon in 3 hours and 16 minutes, raising thousands for charity. Since then, I’ve pushed my limits through endurance challenges, public speaking and high-performance environments — all with one mission:
To help people realise they are capable of more than they think.
Because adversity doesn’t define you, how you respond does.
What I Do
I work across live events, speaking engagements and performance environments, delivering energy, structure and impact where it matters most.

“Adam was fast at replying throughout the entire booking process and kept us very up to date in the lead-up to the event, which left us feeling prepared and stress free.
He brought fantastic energy on the day of our showcase, hyping the audience with a confident and fun delivery. He had clearly taken the time to learn the script and memorised a great deal to introduce each team seamlessly.

Dear Adam,
I just wanted to say thank you for being such an amazing host at our events recently. We have loved having you host our Gymnastics competitions, Phoenix Stars Showcase and the more recent Full Out Fest.
We know that we can always rely on you to be professional and well-presented. The crowd really responds to your naturally upbeat personality and your warmth and it is so re-assuring to know that we can leave you to get on with the front of house hosting so that we can get on with running the event.
We have several exciting events coming up in the future and would hope that you would be involved in those with us. If you need any recommendations please do let us know and we will not hesitate to recommend you.
Yours sincerely
Jane Usher
Programme Director

“Professional, adaptable and easy to work with.”⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We’ve had the pleasure of working with Adam a few times at different cheerleading shows where he has been the compare.
The nature of the shows has meant he needed to keep a large crowd excited, responsive with a fast turnaround of performances and quite often last second changes to the running order, with literally a moment’s notice.
He was professional, easy to work with, kept the sound team informed of the fluid changes throughout the shows and always kept everyones spirits up.
We’re really looking forward to working with him at future shows.”
