Biography:
Charlie Baker is "a superior take on the modern showman" - The Guardian

His 2009 debut Edinburgh show The Worlds Greatest Show Off won the Mervyn Stutter Spirit of the Fringe award.
Charlie is becoming a regular face on panel shows having appeared on two series of Never Mind the Buzzcocks along with regular appearances on Richard Bacon’s Beer and Pizza Club and channel 5’s The Wright Stuff
Charlie recorded a set at The Comedy Store as part of Comedy Central's new series of The Comedy Store. In 2011 he was a guest on ITV show Odd One In and also appeared on The Rob Brydon Show Christmas Special
Charlie Baker is a versatile talent, not only a much in demand stand-up comedian and compere, but also an accomplished, highly acclaimed Jazz singer and musician (solo, and with The Charlie Baker Band). His music career has seen him perform with The John Wilson Orchestra, The Syd Lawrence Orchestra and The Ted Heath Big Band.
This versatility was famously highlighted in Let's Dance for Comic Relief in which he famously won with Emmerdales James Thornton , defeating favourite Russell Kane with their tap routine and raising over one million pounds for Comic Relief.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERnYETH3b1o
Charlie graduated from the LAMDA 3 year classical acting course in 1997 and also trained with The National Youth Theatre. He has acted on both stage (The Almeida, Chichester Festival Theatre) and screen (The Boy In The Striped Pajamas, The Long Firm on BBC1 , The IT Crowd on Channel 4) and Doctor Who .
Charlie was recently reviewed by Luke Milford on www.gigglebeats.co.uk
"Charlie Baker, commanded the stage with ease and looked comfortable in front of the audience. He knocked drunken hecklers down left right and centre, while coming across as a very funny man too. His unique brand of observational comedy, mixed in with Jazz outbursts, was entertaining and extremely well received by the crowd “ in a matter of minutes, Baker had the crowd riled up and ready for the first act of the evening."
