Pete Park-Walker
Pete Park-Walker is a Welsh stand-up comedian, character actor, broadcaster and voice-over artist.
Born in Swansea, Wales on 3rd June 1970, he started his career in professional radio, on a Welsh commercial radio station, hosting a comedy-sketch based show that was aired live on Saturday nights. Various "characters" popped up, including one who became known as Park-Walker's "butler", whose desire to fly resulted in ever more bizarre experiments.
Around this time, Park-Walker was making various freelance contributions to BBC Wales under the name of Pete Rogers, including work for Rob Brydon's radio show.
The comedian made his stand-up debut on the former Welsh television channel HTV (now ITV Wales) performing on several editions of the late night stand-up comedy show Better Late in 1992.
He returned to ITV Wales in 2002 on the programme Presenters when he became an instant hit, earning the nickname "The Dog Show Man".
After some years, during which time Park-Walker balanced working in the broadcast and Print Media with stage drama, he marked his return to stand-up in 2001 at the Inkey Jones Comedy Club in Woking, England.
Since then, Pete Park-Walker has continued to become a regular fixture on the dynamic open comedy circuit at diverse venues throughout London, England and Wales.
He has worked as a stand-in panelist on BBC Two’s Mock The Week since 2009.
