HOST
Thomas Magnussen trained as an actor at the internationally renowned Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London in 2000. Since 2010, Thomas has acted as a presenter at a number of events and awards ceremonies, and he is also often used as a moderator and moderator at conferences, debates and cultural events. Having been educated in England, he speaks perfect English, which allows him to effortlessly handle international assignments as well as Danish ones.
In 2019, Thomas was the only human on stage when he played the role of paleontologist Huxley in the spectacular BBC arena show Walking With Dinosaurs, at the Royal Arena in Copenhagen.
Master of Ceremonies
Thomas has worked for CPH Pix, Bogforum in Bella Center, Microsoft and the Danish Chamber of Commerce.
From 2012-2019, Thomas has served as Master of Ceremonies for the world's largest brain research prize, The Brain Prize, where one million euros is awarded each year to some of the world's leading brain researchers.
In 2017, he hosted the 250th anniversary of Hofteatret, where Her Majesty Queen Margarethe II was the guest of honor.
Since 2022, Thomas has hosted COPENHELL Con, which is part of Northern Europe's largest metal music festival on Refshaleøen in Copenhagen.
I have had the pleasure of working with Thomas for 8 years, where he was the well-presented and elegant 'Master of Ceremonies' at the annual awarding of The Brain Prize - the world's largest and most significant award for brain research. Thomas is always well-prepared and has a highly professional approach to the task. With his talent and general knowledge, he is able to quickly familiarize himself with the award-winning research. Therefore, his contribution to staging the award ceremony has always been sharp, respectful and talented. Thomas has a unique ability to deliver his contribution with the right amount of humor and improvisation in front of a distinguished audience including Royalty (or HRH The Crown Prince). And since Thomas also masters the English language as a 'native speaking person', it all comes together. I give Thomas my best and most unreserved recommendation.
Thomas Magnussen was the emcee at the Danish Chamber of Commerce's annual Games of the Year awards ceremony, and he managed to bring a touch of class and professionalism to the event. Not only was he well prepared and thoroughly familiar with the subject area, he also managed to
interview the various guests on stage with the greatest ease, a good presence to the audience and a good sense of the time program.
Thomas Magnussen was the host when the Theater Museum in the Hofteatret celebrated the 250th anniversary of the Hofteatret in 2017 with a full evening event for an invited audience, including H.M. Queen Margrethe II. Thomas performed throughout the evening with elegance, finesse and subtle seriousness. From the moment he arrived in the hall disguised as a custodian from Christiansborg Palace who had gone wrong, to the moment he transformed into the host who not only guided the audience from one element to another in the evening's two-hour long program, but also contributed with measured artistic elements. Furthermore, he effortlessly and clearly led the audience through the history of the Hofteatret, while at the same time he had already familiarized himself with the composition of the audience and had taken note of where selected people sat in the hall, so that he could discreetly include their current significance for the Theatre Museum in the Hofteatret. It was a beautiful evening, tempered by place and context and not least toned by Thomas.
