Joe Pasquale, a beloved comedian, has been entertaining audiences for over three decades with his vibrant live stand-up performances. His talent extends beyond the stage; he has lent his voice to characters in popular films such as *Garfield: A Tale of Two Kittens* and *Horton Hears a Who!*, as well as in children's television animation like *Frankenstein's Cat*. He also made a memorable appearance in *The Muppets’ 25th Anniversary Show*.

Pasquale made his theatrical debut in 1999 in Larry Shue’s *The Nerd*, earning praise from *Time Out*, which hailed his performance as “rib-shatteringly funny.” He has since graced the stage in various touring productions, including Tom Stoppard’s *Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead* in 2004, Mel Brooks’ *The Producers* in 2007, and *The Wizard of Oz* in 2010. His role as King Arthur in *Spamalot* (2013-2015) further solidified his status in the West End. Most recently, he starred as Frank Spencer in the touring production of *Some Mother Do 'Ave 'Em*, which is set to return to theatres in Spring/Summer 2020.

In addition to his theatrical accomplishments, Pasquale was crowned King of the Jungle on ITV’s *I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here* in 2004 and has participated in various other ITV shows, including *Dancing on Ice* and *The All New Monty: Who Bares Wins* for Stand Up To Cancer. A fixture of the British pantomime scene, he is set to play Wishee Washee in *Aladdin* at Milton Keynes Theatre this Christmas.
