Mitch Churi
Award-Winning Broadcaster, Comedian & Host of The Mitch Churi Chat Show
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 – from when he hosted his own KIIS FM national nights show, to his 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.
In September 2025, Mitch launched The Mitch Churi Chat Show, bringing a long standing dream to life. Designed for the internet age, the twice-weekly podcast offers a fresh take on the traditional late night talk show. It’s an exciting next step for Churi, who is truly in his element when interviewing the world’s biggest artists, 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.
Mitch co-hosted KIIS FM’s THE PICKUP – where listeners fell in love with him as he leant into honest conversations, covered the juicy topics, and dissected life conundrums. He also co-hosted iHeart’s popular podcast ‘Is It Just Me?’, which recently wrapped after five successful years.
In terms of accolades, if an ACRA wasn’t enough – Mitch was also named ‘Australia’s Most Relatable Broadcaster’ by TalentCorp in 2024.
While he might be most known for his voice, 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 been known to share his thoughts on Nine’s Today and Today Extra.
Mitch is proud to be a trusted collaborator of leading brands across a range of categories including Stan Australia and is a sought-after MC and keynote speaker.
