Everyone loves dinner and a show – even when it’s being served at McDonald’s.
That’s what customers in London have been getting at the chain’s Liverpool Street location with Richard Walker, a McDonald’s UK employee who’s gone viral for his in-restaurant performances and singalongs.

With only five videos uploaded to TikTok so far, Walker’s @ukrichardwalker account is nearing one million views.
MCDONALD'S WORKERS REVEAL 'LEAST ORDERED' MENU ITEM: 'NOT VERY WELL ADVERTISED'
The self-described "pro noise maker" has sung "This Is How We Do It" by Montell Jordan, "Just the way you are" by Bruno Mars, "As Long as You Love Me" by the Backstreet Boys and "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran.
Each video shows the restaurant’s in-store customers thoroughly enjoying the shows Walker puts on with the establishment’s hooked-up microphone.
"What inspired me to sing and entertain is the sheer volume of customers," Walker wrote to Fox News Digital in a direct message.
"It takes people's minds off the time as we are often very busy," he continued. "Entertaining is also a great desire of mine, as I've been involved with music since I was seven years old. Being on the mic lets all of us have a little fun, and helps both customers and staff alike — like Bob Marley says — get together and feel alright."
In a video Walker posted on April 30, he explained that a microphone was installed at the Liverpool Street McDonald’s location to help staff announce orders.
"Liverpool Street is the busiest McDonald's in the U.K., and we really needed a speaker system to help guide everyone," he told Fox News Digital.
A more recent video he shared on his birthday – May 23 – showed Walker singing at 1 a.m.
"I use my talents to raise cash for Ronald McDonald House Charities during the day," Walker told Fox News Digital. "The busy overnight shifts [have] lots of energetic party-goers, [and] people seem to have really enjoyed my unusual method of fast food customer experience."
