Celebrity stand-up comedian and actor Charles Walden has been doing what he loves for over 30 years and that’s entertaining his audience. Stricken by cerebral palsy from birth, Charles doesn’t allow his condition to limit or stop him from living his best life. 

Between gigs, Charles has been employed by the city of Philadelphia for over15 years. He enjoys traveling the world making people laugh. His hope is one day to quit his job and independently support himself as a full-time stand-up comedian and actor. 

Charles was raised in the rough and tough inner city of Philadelphia and had to struggle to survive like any other kid in the inner city. He got no breaks just because he had cerebral palsy. He was not babied at all by family, friends, or the community. He had to put his pants on one leg at a time like every other boy or man. He had to overcome many obstacles. There was a lot of mental and physical pain he endured from living and growing up in the inner city of Philadelphia. The death of his mother crushed him, but he kept going. She was his rock. Many years have passed since her death and the pain never goes away, but he keeps going. 

Charles’ greatest pleasure is when he’s on stage performing as he gives his audience the most inspirational laughing good time they’ve had in a long while. Charles is not embarrassed or ashamed of his cerebral palsy and has incorporated his condition in a unique way into his stand-up comedy show. Charles is proud to say stand-up comedy has given him the opportunity to perform on some iconic TV shows and stages such as BETs Comic View, Martin Lawrence 1st Amendment, and even Def Comedy Jam’s All-Star Season, to name a few. Charles is a requested favorite to perform at colleges, universities, comedy clubs, churches, and military bases across the country
