Event information

Me and Mrs Jones comedy and Leek comedy Club presents .....
Roy Walker broke through to success in 1977 and national prominence when he recorded the highest marks ever given to a comedian on television’s New Faces.
It was the start of a television career that has blossomed ever since.  He starred on all the major TV variety shows, including:
* Live From Her Majesty’s
* Blankety Blank
* Des O’Connor Tonight
* Bob Monkhouse Show
* Tarby And Friends
* Paul Daniels Show
* The Laughter Show

Furthermore, Roy headlined The Comedians, his show, Licensed For Singing And Dancing. and hosted the TVS show, Summertime Special.
At the beginning of 1987, he hosted his first series of Catchphrase, which became a high-rating addition to the ITV Network scheduling each year.
His summer seasons were sell-outs.  He also appeared extensively with Russ Abbot, Shirley Bassey and Tom Jones and toured the country with his live stage version of Catchphrase.
Pantomimes have also played a big part in his career performing at some the UK’s largest theatres.
In September 1998, while filming Catchphrase, Roy Walker was surprised by Michael Aspel – with the big red book – as a subject of This Is Your Life.
Roy Walker has appeared in Channel 4’s hit TV series Phoenix Nights and presented a six-part comedy series The Way We Tell ‘Em for BBC Radio, Northern Ireland.
He continues to headline theatre, cabaret and after-dinner speaking engagements throughout Britain and overseas.
