Roy Walker is one of the most recognisable names in British entertainment. As the host of ITV's Catchphrase for thirteen years, he became a genuine household name, and his warmth, timing, and effortless rapport with audiences have kept him at the top of live comedy for over six decades.
Born in Belfast, Roy's path to comedy took in seven years in the British Army and Northern Ireland's hammer throwing championship before he found his calling on the club circuit. In 1977, he won ITV's New Faces with the highest score ever given to a comedian, launching a television career that has never slowed down.
A star of The Comedians, Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights, and a critically acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe solo show, Roy remains one of the most in-demand after-dinner speakers and live performers in the country. He is a class act in the truest sense of the phrase.
