About Pete Firman
Pete Firman is a celebrated English magician, comedian, and actor who first gained national recognition as 'Tufty' on the award-winning Channel 5 series Monkey Magic. A graduate of theatre from the University of Hull, he is widely credited with modernising the art of illusion by blending traditional sleight of hand with sharp, off-beat comedy. His extensive television portfolio includes high-profile appearances on Tonight at The London Palladium, The John Bishop Show, and The Magicians, as well as acting roles in Amazon's Good Omens and guest spots on The Sarah Millican Television Programme.
Beyond the screen, Firman is a seasoned live performer who has maintained a consistent presence at the Edinburgh Festival and tour circuits for over a decade. His international reputation has seen him perform at the prestigious Just For Laughs festival in Montreal and the world-renowned Magic Castle in Los Angeles. A member of London's Magic Circle, he has also hosted his own radio programme, Pete Firman’s World of Magic, for BBC Radio 4 and twice won his secondary school talent show during his early years in Middlesbrough.
