 Big Daddy Graham performed comedy for over 35 years at clubs, colleges, corporate and private parties, as well as banquets and fundraisers.  His show, Two Funny Philly Guys, with fellow comedian Joe Conklin, was performed in theaters such as the 1,000 seat Borgata Music Box in Atlantic City, New Jersey and the Broadway Theater in Pitman, New Jersey.  He also appeared on Showtime, MTV, A&E, and was voted Philadelphia's funniest comedian by Philly Magazine and other publications a total of 15 times.

 Graham co-hosted 1210 AM's The Sports Attack with Scott Graham and Neil Hartman, where he interviewed sports personalities.  He subsequently joined WIP in 1997 and served as a full-time host on sports talk radio station 94 WIP for over two decades.
 Graham began recording a podcast, Big Daddy Graham's Classic Rock Throwdown, on Wildfire Radio in 2014.  As of August 2017, he recorded over 170 episodes, counting down songs as they relate to a particular topic each week.
 Last Call (2003), the book Graham wrote about his father, sold over 30,000 copies in the Philadelphia area.  He adapted Last Call into a one-man show, which he has performed to audiences at Society Hill Playhouse and the Media Theatre.
