Creating spaces where
people feel like legends!

G’day legend, my name is Jacob and welcome .

Whether you’re holding a large corporate function, community fundraiser for a sporting club or a school, or just need someone to bring a big positive vibe to your next event. Yarnberg has a range of entertainment options to tailor a package to your needs.

About

Yarnberg Entertainment is all about creating spaces where people feel like legends. This means hosting events where the players are celebrated for who they are and creating a highly enjoyable and engaging environment.

I mix theatrical performances, acoustic covers, humour, lightsabers, hardcore pop culture fandom and a genuine love of people all together to produce premium entertainment.

What are people saying?

The team at Mars Wrigley have never had a trivia night quite like the one Jacob from Yarnberg Entertainment put on and safe to say we never will – the bar is now raised so high!

Jacob knew how to work the crowd – from his singing, to trivia questions, to games and all in between – the teams were always entertained and we’d never seen each other laugh harder.

If any companies are looking for a highly entertaining and fun event – look no further than Jacob at Yarnberg Entertainment!”

What is a Yarnberg?

The name Yarnberg is derived from my last name Schnackenberg, which is as German as a pretzel wearing a lederhosen while drinking a stein at Oktoberfest.

Translated to English, Schnacken means to have a short chat, or as we say here in Oz a yarn. And berg means mountain.

So it’s a mountain of yarns and that pretty much sums up what it’s all about.

How We Roll

Nothing but legends!

The goal of Yarnberg is to create spaces where people feel like legends and can be celebrated for who they are.

Crowd interaction

No matter the size of the crowd, from 8 to 800+, I run two way events. Players will be engaged from start to finish in a highly enjoyable experience.

I even remember people’s names!

Stuff people love

The content at all Yarnberg events is tailored to the audience. It’s about things people love, designed to light up faces!

Make your life easy

Jacob has hosted events for over 7 years with more than 120 shows in the last financial year alone.

Where you can catch Jacob

I am regularly hosting at pubs around Melbourne alongside my long time partners Grape Vine Events.

I host general knowledge trivia at the Sporting Globe Knox every Wednesday night and monthly themed trivia and music bingo at TGI Fridays in Frankston.

With busking licences in both Melbourne and Frankston you might catch Jacob on the streets going full Disney princess or belting out a few pub rock classics.
