Additionally in 2016, Walker appeared in Whose Line Is It Anyway? Australia in 2016. His show Bee Boo, which featured less audience participation than Beep Boop, was nominated for the 2017 Melbourne International Comedy Festival Award, then known as the Barry Award; he tattooed the words "Barry Award Winner 2017" on his arm in joking anticipation of the award, and later had the tattoo crossed out when Hannah Gadsby took home the award for their show Nanette. The Herald Sun called Honk Honk Honk Honk Honk, his 2018 show, an "unforgettable collection of physical and prop comedy marred by a few forgettable sequences."

His 2019 show Very Very, directed by Zoë Coombs Marr, was picked up as an Amazon Prime Video special and released in May 2020. With the show largely based around the concept of mime, Paste praised Walker's "impeccable timing" and "combination of sweat and talent".

He created his 2022 show Javelin, about a hypothetical career in which he had spent 12 years as a professional javelin thrower; The Guardian said the show had "lots to enjoy, even if the central conceit [did] not soar." Walker was selected as part of the 2023 lineup of International New Faces of Comedy by Just for Laughs. His 2024 show My Treasures My Beautiful Treasures departed from his usual absurd and physical comedy and instead involved a simple stand-up presentation about communities of "pathetic men who aren’t hurting anyone" on the internet, such as groups of men with micropenises. Livestreaming on Twitch, Walker embarked on a months-long play through of Grand Theft Auto IV with the Warp Eleven mod, in which the speed of the cars in the game were increased to "warp speed".
