Billy Pearce

National treasure, and without doubt one of Britain's most talented and best loved comedians, Billy Pearce emerged from the fertile talent fields of Butlins in the mid 1980's. Billy has won just about every comedy award going, including a British Comedy Award, Solo Comedian of the Year, and Best Television Comedy Newcomer at the London Palladium.

Billy, who was born in Leeds, West Yorkshire, first came to National prominence when he appeared in Central TV's top talent show 'New Faces', winning his heat and qualifying for the final. His impact was immediate and he was quickly snapped up for stage and TV appearances, culminating with his first series for BBC television, 'You Gotta Be Joking'.
