Aaron McIlroy
Based in Durban, Aaron McIlroy is arguably South Africa’s most popular MC/entertainer/speaker with a string of stage blockbusters under his belt.
The Loser examines motivational speakers and takes a comical, distorted view of the latest trend in corporate motivation and “sales-speak”. A multitude of outlandish and manically deprived individuals are introduced in McIlroy’s whacky style. This smash hit comedy has played countless public, corporate, and supper theatre venues throughout the country.
While Aaron’s work in the South African theatre industry has always focused on getting his ever-growing audience base to laugh till they cry, his creative skills as a fully-trained and highly experienced actor/producer extend far beyond the scope of general Stand-Up comedy entertainers. Experience him in action and you’ll see why.
On the Stage, his theatrical hits have included: ‘Abbamaniacs’, ‘The Happy Clapper’, ‘Reality Bites’, ‘The Golfer’, ‘The Loser’ and ‘@Work’ and he is remembered for his role in Spud the Movie and Spud 2: The Madness Continues.

'Conrad was superb. He took the info provided in the brief and formulated a performance which was pitched at exactly the right level by combining humour & theory. His performance created a huge amount of positive energy and hopefully we can apply his message of using laughter to create a healthy work environment to our daily activities'
