Maltese Child Steals Hearts At David Walliams Book Show

Jul 1 2024

During the David Walliams Book Show question time, the author and actor invited a little boy named Bert onto the stage – and he proceeded to steal all the hearts at the events.

Asked whether he knew who Walliams was, little Bert responded with no. But he did know that Walliams ‘makes books’ as he munched on his popcorn with the most adorable hairstyle ever.

For his efforts and cuteness, Bert walked off stage with a book who he will be sharing with his sister – but not before turning to return to his guardians and forcing Walliams to rush after him and ensure his safety.

Absolutely adorable!

The David Walliams Book Show is a one-man performance where David Walliams shares hilarious stories from his childhood, discusses the inspiration behind his famous book characters, acts out funny extracts, and reads amusing fan letters. His daytime shows delight children, parents, and grandparents who have enjoyed his 40 best-selling books over the past 15 years.
