Pete Firman

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 Sky’s Secret World Of Magic and amazed viewers with his ability to perform disgusting tricks with animals and big spiky things in Channel 4’s Dirty Tricks. He’s perhaps best known as a regular on BBC One’s Saturday night show, The Magicians.
Recent TV credits include Live at The London Palladium (ITV1), Let’s Sing & Dance for Comic Relief (BBC1), The John Bishop Show (BBC1), Comedy Rocks with Jason Manford (ITV1) and The Sarah Millican Television Programme (BBC2). He’s performed alongside Rihanna in For One Night Only (ITV1), presented gameshows and appeared on BBC1’s 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.

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 stand up comedy.
