When Covid hit us five years ago, Billy Walker took to the streets – not to protest, but to sing.  This working-class hero, born and raised by a single mother in west Cumbria, knew how hard the isolation and restrictions would be on local people particularly those in Care Homes who couldn’t even see their loved ones. 

 

Determined to do all he could to raise spirits, Billy took action in song, performing for free more than eighty times in car parks and gardens of Homes and Hospices all over Cumbria. He even entertained staff in local supermarkets. Over the period of just seven days, he also recorded and released a very special Lockdown album of songs and raised £22,000 for Hospice at Home west Cumbria, 

 

As you might guess, Billy’s a born entertainer. He was just a teenager when he first trod the boards at the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain in 1997, and has been wowing audiences all over the world ever since. 

In 2019 he won Best Actor award at the California Independent Film Festival for his portrayal of Max in the film Night Shift. In 2023 he picked Best Proof of Concept at the Houston Comedy Festival for Linda Evans Is My Spirit Animal which he not only starred in but also wrote, produced and directed. This year he’s been presented with Best Featured Performance at the Stage Raw Theatre Awards in Los Angeles for his portrayal of The Boss in the Playhouse West Production of Jason Milligan’s Men In Suits.  Now after a three-week run at the Edinburgh Festival, he's bringing the hilarious one-man show to London!  Entitled Joan Collins Blocked Me on Twitter,  it’s a camp, chaotic, theatrical extravaganza which spotlights a certain Theodore Emery Jones (who bears a remarkable resemblance to Billy…) when he arrives in Hollywood with the burning desire to land a starring role in a reboot of the 80’s TV classic Dynasty.

What could possibly go wrong?
