Mark Walker

This versatile entertainer began his career in the cabaret clubs throughout the UK.

His innovative and creative routines brought him instant success and resulted in Mark winning the Daily Mirror's 'Young Entertainer Of The Year' award.

He had a four-year spell touring European rock festivals as lead-singer with his band Fahrenheit. He said: "it really was sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, which was extremely intense, in fact there were times I could have done without the rock 'n' roll”.

Mark has now returned to his roots and set sail towards the London comedy circuit. Putting his combined talents to work, he is generating fantastic reactions from his audiences, and is now a regular on the Jongleurs circuit. Although a relative newcomer to the London comedy scene, he is generating quite a buzz with stories of his life, and the reasons why Rolf Harris is more popular in this country than American evangelist preachers!

Mark’s ambitions have also been directed towards musical theatre and he was delighted to have the opportunity of making his debut in the West End, playing Greaseball in Sir Andrew Lloyd-Webber’s ‘Starlight Express’. 1997 saw Mark at the Blackpool Opera House, playing the romantic lead role of Rick in the new hit musical, ‘Oh! What A Night’, directed and choreographed by Kim Gavin and starring Kid Creole.

In 1998 Mark played his first lead role in Paul Kerryson’s fantasy musical, ‘Heavenly Bodies’ at the Leicester Haymarket.

2001 saw Marks' debut at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in his one man show, 'The Man Who Fell To Mirth', which grew over the festival to become a sell out show. Since then he has taken his comedy from the Middle East to the Far East and back to the North East, along with a second sell out Edinburgh show in 2003, 'One man and his gob', and various guest appearances on BBC1, Channel 4 & Channel 5, as well as presenting 'Britian's Wildest' for Sky One, he may never have to dash another a pebble again!
