2004

Wilkinson started his career in 2004 at his local pub. His local was holding an "open mic" evening and decided to give it a go so he signed himself up. Since 2008, he has appeared more than 1000 times on television and has performed many stand up shows on his tour: "Joe Wilkinson: My Mum's Called Stella and My Dad's Called Brian" and at venues such as the Edinburgh Fringe and the Bloomsbury Theatre.

2011

Wilkinson has performed two major tours: My Mum's called Stella and my Dad's called Brian and The Joe Wilkinson Experience. Both tours have received mixed reviews, but those for The Joe Wilkinson Experience exceeded those of My Mum's called Stella and my Dad's called Brian. In an August 2011 review for My Mum's called Stella and my Dad's called Brian, Steve Bennett said, "There's just enough to earn Wilkinson three stars, but it's a close call for a Comedian who always seems to attract industry attention but never really comes up with the goods to make an impact."
