Martin Walker, Broadway Baby, 19th July 2017The Edinburgh interviews 2017: Charlie Baker
Stand up comic Charlie Baker's latest show The Hit Polisher is an interesting blend of comedy and cabaret.

Charlie has made appearances on Harry Hill's Teatime and the 02 Comedy Gala in recent years, proving himself to be a slick and energetic stand up performer, and he will be performing at Assembly George Square Theatre throughout August.
