Biography
Magician and comedian Pete Firman first burst onto our television screens as the cheeky Northerner 'Tufty' in Channel 5’s Monkey Magic. Since then, he’s appeared on Tonight at The London Palladium (ITV1), The Next Great Magician (ITV1), The Magicians (BBC1) and Let’s Sing & Dance For Comic Relief (BBC1). He also appears in the second season of Amazon’s hit show Good Omens alongside David Tennant and Michael Sheen.
Other TV credits include The John Bishop Show (BBC1), Tommy Cooper Forever (ITV1) and The Sarah Millican Television Programme (BBC2). Pete has performed alongside Rihanna in For One Night Only, presented gameshows and appeared on Celebrity Mastermind (specialist subject, appropriately - The Life of Tommy Cooper.) He also presented his own show, Pete Firman’s World of Magic for BBC Radio 4.
Pete has performed to sell out crowds at the Edinburgh Festival and on tour in the UK for over a decade as well as performing at Montreal’s prestigious Just For Laughs Festival, at the world famous Magic Castle in LA and London’s home of mystery, The Magic Circle.
Pete combines traditional tricks (often with an ironic twist) with off-beat humour and a sense of unpredictability. A naturally gifted performer and magician, Pete has been credited with helping reinvent magic taking it from its dated showbiz past to a new audience more familiar with standup comedy.
“We’re a tricky crowd, but he got our attention instantly and held it throughout”
Huge thanks to Pete for last night. He was extremely professional and a delight to work with. Guests were very engaged and enjoyed his performance very much, the feedback has been extremely positive.
Excellent, he was very very funny, he controlled the audience well and got people involved in his set. He brought the house down and was just perfect on the night.
We hired Pete for 2 separate awards evenings in different sectors and he went down brilliantly on both occasions. Pete is lively, engaging, professional, and of course funny. He was very easy to work with and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for a function where you are looking for comedy with a twist.
Pete followed our brief exactly. He was punctual, professional, and read our audience brilliantly. Pete went down a storm with the audience. he was very funny and just the right balance of cheek for a corporate crowd. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to other corporate groups.
Pete was professional, easy to work with and extremely entertaining. It’s a tricky crowd as they are very busy talking amoungst theirselves!! He got their attention instantly and held it throughout. He also managed to judge the audience well. The feedback has been very positive
