Archive image for Walter Gee

Walter Gee began as a mime artist before moving into stand-up comedy. His performing career is remembered as taking him through working men’s clubs and entertainment in Benidorm. He also appeared on television as a village workman in Michael Palin’s Ripping Yarns.

Biographical notes accompanying a retrospective comedy release attributed his retirement to his dislike of the material being performed by newer comedians.
