About Charlie Baker
Charlie Baker is a multi-talented comedian, actor, and singer whose diverse career spans stand-up, major television dramas, and sports broadcasting. A former member of the National Youth Theatre and a skilled tap dancer, he gained national recognition by winning BBC One’s Let's Dance for Comic Relief. He has featured in several iconic British series including Doctor Who, The IT Crowd, Miranda, and EastEnders, and recently took the lead role in Harry Hill’s musical production, Tony! (The Tony Blair Rock Opera). On the comedy circuit, he is celebrated for his punchy, expertly crafted jokes and musical flair, frequently appearing on hit shows such as The Last Leg, Richard Osman’s House of Games, and Never Mind the Buzzcocks.
Beyond the stage, Baker is a prominent voice in sports media. He is a regular presenter on talkSPORT, where he hosts the Game Day Warm Up and frequently joins Paul Hawksbee for afternoon broadcasts. His passion for football is further explored through his podcast, The National Obsession, which focuses on the National League and his support for Torquay United. His musical versatility has also led to performances with the Syd Lawrence Orchestra and the Ted Heath Big Band, showcasing a rare blend of traditional showmanship and contemporary humour.
