Curtis Walker
Curtis Walker is 'The Don' of black comedy. He is a multi-talented performer and his indefinable comedy "moves an audience in a way I've never seen a standup do before" William Cook - The Guardian.
As a standup, Curtis has performed up and down the country in some of its finest venues (and toilets!). Across the waters, he has made audiences laugh in America, Spain, Jamaica, St. Lucia, Holland and most recently, the Middle East.
As an actor, he had the privilege of working with Maya Angelou, (Moon On A Rainbow Shawl) and Lenny Henry (Lenny Henry Show, Now What, Almost Always Africa) and appeared in Kathy Burke's (penned) film, "The End".
After yet another memorable performance at the Birmingham Symphony Hall, the great Nelson Mandela shook Curtis' hand - twice...
Curtis co-hosted Paramount City (BBC) and was a regular contributor in The Real McCoy (BBC) and Blouse & Skirt (BBC). His other television credits include They Think It's All Over (BBC), Jonathan Ross (Ch. 4), Black Britain (BBC), Glastonbury 2000 (BBC), The Stand Up Show (Ch. 5), Urban Heat (BBC).
Curtis was awarded best male stand-up from BICA and last year the Top Carlton TV Multicultural Entertainment & Comedy Award. Curtis is the face behind the NHS Organ Donor Register campaign to which 10 million people have added their names.
Curtis toured his own one man show, "Right Now" and is the voice of Carlton in the BBC Childrens comedy Kerching!
