Mitch Churi is one of Australia’s most-loved media personalities, and his popularity continues to grow. With a decade of broadcasting under his belt, Churi connects with audiences wherever he goes – from hosting his own KIIS FM national nights show and co-hosting THE PICKUP, to TV presenting, MCing & stand-up comedy, as well as podcasting. It was no surprise when Churi took out the top honour as ‘Best Music Presenter’ at the prestigious Australian Commercial Radio and Audio (ACRA) Awards in 2022.
Churi is truly in his element when interviewing the world’s biggest artists on The Night Show With Mitch Churi, think Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, Harry Styles, Miley Cyrus and Emily Blunt. Churi leans into the classic ‘late show’ style of Graham Norton or Jimmy Fallon, creating a relaxed and hilarious environment for his guests. He has mastered the art of not taking himself too seriously, all in the name of entertainment – and has completed numerous short courses in comedy, acting, and writing to boot.
Listeners can also tune-in to get their Mitch fix at 3pm on KIIS FM, with THE PICKUP team diving into honest conversations, covering the hottest topics, and dissecting life conundrums. Across both shows, Churi has an impressive weekly cumulative reach of over 1.3 million. While humour drives most of what Churi does, he is no stranger to vulnerability and openness with his audience. He taps into his love of human connection particularly on his social platforms, where he engages directly with his audience.
If two national shows weren’t enough – Mitch co-hosts iHeart podcast ‘Is It Just Me?’ and fills in for Kyle & Jackie O’s world famous breakfast show when they are on break. Fortunately, Churi has stayed grounded through this massive success – being named ‘Australia’s Most Relatable Broadcaster’ by TalentCorp in 2024.
While he has one of the country’s most recognisable voices, he lights up a screen or stage without breaking a sweat. His TV credits include co-hosting the 2020 ARIA Awards Pre-Show, appearances on Nine’s ‘Beauty & The Geek’ and ‘Love Island Afterparty’ – and he’s never afraid to share his thoughts on the news entertainment shows. Churi flexed his stand-up comedy skills opening for the 2023 Life Uncut Live Show national tour, entertaining tens of thousands across the period.
Mitch is miraculously able to find time for commercial projects too, and is fast becoming a sought-after brand partner and dynamo MC for major events.
