Henry Paker

After a brief career in computer animation, Henry Paker decided to give comedy a go. He started out doing stand up in rooms above pubs, then in rooms below pubs and then eventually in the main body of the pub itself. In 2008 he won the Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year and realised he might be onto something. Since then Henry’s many comic talents have seen him carve out a career as a comic writer, stand up, actor and cartoonist.

'Fabulous narrative arc and tremendous panache that is utterly winning and delights an audience’ (Chortle)

'Charming, inventive and very funny' (British Comedy Guide)

'Has the audience rolling in the aisles for the vast majority of an action-packed hour. Paker is a riotous, iconoclastic star in the making' (Fest)

'... the star is Henry Paker; every one of his jokes is built up perfectly, and the punchline is always hilarious. Clever material, but silly enough not to alienate anyone' (Three Weeks).
