Bradley Walsh
Bradley
Walsh, once best known as a professional footballer with Brentford,
has now become a household name on a different playing field.
After being named Top
TV Personality Of The Year by the Comic Heritage Awards, Bradley has
been on national television non-stop. He injected his own brand of
anarchy into ‘The Wheel Of Fortune’ whilst hosting the
show for ITV. However, the BBC was so impressed with Bradley's style
that they snapped him up to present the National Lottery. The press
obviously agree;
“...comedian Bradley
Walsh hurtles through the light-hearted game show with such wit and
energy. He almost defies you not to enjoy yourselves. Bradley Walsh
has certainly arrived.” The Sun.
Bradley is also an actor
with a varied track record on TV, film and stage. He spent six months
playing the lead role Eric in Michael Cooney's brilliant comedy ‘Cash
On Delivery’ in the West End. Reviews were ecstatic;
“Bradley Walsh giving
an excellent, highly athletic performance.” The Guardian.
“Bradley Walsh has the manic glazed-eye desperation of the true
farceur.” Daily Telegraph.
Best known as an energetic
and charismatic comedian, Bradley's big break came when he literally
stole the show at The Royal Variety Performance.
He has been a regular
on Des O'Connor’s ‘Tonight’ and is one of the UK's
most sought after comedians both as a live attraction and as a television
performer. He has also hosted a second series of LWT/Channel 5's ‘The
Big Stage’. It was the first variety show on British TV for
seven years and has now spawned a deluge of imitators.
Bradley has also broken
into television acting; firstly in a cameo role in Carlton TV's ‘The
Thing About Vince’ and then in a major role as villain Larry
Harmless in 'Lock, Stock' the television spin-off from the film ‘Lock,
Stock and Two Smoking Barrels’.
He is now appearing in the ultimate soap opera ‘Coronation Street’.
He also had great success
with his own show on Capital Radio, which was broadcast throughout
the network on Sundays and he made his big screen debut in the film,
‘Mike Bassett, England Manager’.
Bradley is one of those
special and highly imaginative comedians with a gift for observing
the ordinary and making it funny. He is one of the rare breed of comedians
who can perform in the alternative Comedy Store, as well as being
a crowd pleaser in family entertainment. He has also reaffirmed his
talent for broadcasting and presenting and proved himself an exciting
acting talent.
