A well-known Kiwi face, Jackie has been gracing our New Zealand TV screens for more years than she'd probably like to count. We all remember her BLING on New Zealand Idol not so long ago, however before this, Jackie acted on TV3's hit comedy series 'Skitz' and has made numerous television cameo appearances, including on 'Saturday Live', 'Nightline', 'Options' and featured in television advertisements for Lotto and the electoral roll.
She wrote and presented the documentary Wise Women and Song for TV One's Work of Art. In 1998 she toured in 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat'.
Jackie's versatile vocal chords have mastered opera at the Mercury, Cole Porter at Downstage and country'n'western. As well as crooning at Christmas in the Park, she has toured and recorded with Annie Crummer, Putty, The Netherworld Dancing Toys, Paul McCartney, Ray Charles, the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and the New Zealand Brass Quintet.
A hat fanatic and rumba queen, Jackie is a life member of the Carmen Miranda Adoration Society!
Jackie is the consummate professional who adds her own special flair and pizzazz to your event.

What a superstar of a woman! Professional, funny, engaging, and talented, her attention to detail was impeccable. Her ability to engage and 'ssssshhhh' a room of over 200 was incredible. Jackie had the room engaged throughout the evening from when she entered the room to open the Awards evening with 'Let's Get the Party Started' to connecting with the audience and our President throughout the evening. Jackie had many fans come upto her after the presentation to get photos and she was so willing to engage with them all. This is the 4th time I have had the privilege of having Jackie Clarke be an MC in this role and others - and she never disappoints or lets us down, I would have her every year if I could!
