Macshane is based in Perth, Western Australia. Bookings run across Perth WA, regional and remote Western Australia including the Pilbara, Kimberley, Goldfields, Mid West, Wheatbelt and South West, and interstate and internationally. Regional Western Australia is regular work rather than exceptional, and clustering two or three bookings into one trip brings the cost per booking down, because the travel is only charged once.

Popular event periods such as festival seasons, corporate event calendars and holiday periods can book out well in advance. It is recommended to enquire early to secure availability for your preferred date.

You can enquire using the Book Macshane form on the website, or email hello@macshane.com.au. Include the date, location and type of event you are planning, and you will get availability and options back.

Performance fees vary depending on the event type, location, performance format and technical requirements. To receive a tailored quote, please provide details about your event including the date, location and type of performance you are interested in.

Yes, and it is half the business. School incursions, presentations and workshops run across Perth, Western Australia and regional WA for Year 6 through Year 12, plus primary and family shows. Sessions are 55 minutes, one session covers as many students as the space holds, and the English and literacy sessions are aligned to the WA Curriculum.

Full detail, year groups and what schools ask: School Incursions and Presentations.

One fee per session rather than per student, so a cohort of 300 costs the same as a single class. Separate rates apply for independent schools and for public, Catholic and primary schools, and a second or third session on the same visit is cheaper per session. Regional visits are quoted per trip. Send the school, the cohort and the date for a figure and a one page outline.

Yes. Workplace mental health and wellbeing sessions run for workplaces, councils and community organisations across Perth WA and regional Western Australia, built around a lived experience story about ADHD and delivered as live interactive comedy rather than a lecture. It sits alongside an EAP or a MATES program and never replaces one, and Macshane speaks from his own experience rather than clinical authority.

Formats, occasions and what the room gets: Workplace Mental Health and Wellbeing.

Yes, and it is the most established version of the wellbeing session. Delivered on site for Rio Tinto, BHP, Mineral Resources, Roy Hill and Chevron, and in FIFO villages across the Pilbara, with no production requirement: it runs in a mess hall, a village bar or a rec room with a handheld microphone. R U OK? Day, Safe Work Month, WA Mental Health Week and Movember are the usual slots, and R U OK? Day is often booked ten months ahead.

Formats, occasions and what the site gets: FIFO Mental Health and Minesite Entertainment

Background on the standard WA sites work to: WorkSafe WA’s code of practice on mentally healthy workplaces for FIFO workers.

Yes. The keynote runs 45 to 60 minutes and ends with him proving the point live, improvising rap from words the audience gives him. He reached the Britain’s Got Talent 2026 live semi-final at the Apollo Theatre in London, finished second in the national public vote, and gave a TEDx talk at UWA on channelling ADHD as a superpower through the creativity of rap.

Audiences, credentials and what organisers ask: Motivational and Keynote Speaking.

Yes. Master of ceremonies and event hosting for awards nights, gala dinners, conferences, product launches, school presentation evenings and festivals, with improvised raps for winners, sponsors and guests through the night. He can host a whole event and perform in it, which is one booking rather than two.

What hosting includes, and the formats: MC and Event Host.

That is the lived experience the Finding Your Flowstate sessions are built on. Macshane presented and opened the WA ADHD Conference 2026 and is a spokesperson and community ambassador for ADHD WA. He speaks from his own experience, never as a clinician, and never frames ADHD as purely a gift: the hard parts get named, which is why it lands with the people who need it.
