His popularity began on BBC Radio Ulster in 1991 when he began writing and broadcasting humorous monologues as The Bard of Tyrone. Over a period of six years he wrote and performed over 200 poems. As a direct result of this he was asked to appear at the Belfast Festival at Queens University Belfast (QUB) and on the BBC Radio Ulster programme, Laugh a Minute.

He has appeared on The Gerry Kelly Show, McKeever Show and All Mixed Up for UTV and Pass it On, Town Challenge and The Big Science Quiz for the BBC. He interviewed Jade Goody for Channel 4 in What Jade Did Next.

He then made a decision to stop doing warm up and concentrate on making his own shows for T.V and Radio. This resulted in An Evening with James Young and a four-part series Our William both on BBC 1 NI. Most recently for BBC Radio Ulster he co-wrote and starred in 'It's William Caulfield- so it is' a sketch based comedy series for Radio Ulster, nominated for a PPI Radio Award

, William Caulfield's Workers Party which was recorded in various factories around the province. and was Team Captain on the Comedy Panel Show ""Either/Or""

Caulfield is well established in theatre playing Nathan Detroit in Guys and Dolls, Henry Higgins in My Fair Lady, Ebenezer Scrooge in A Christmas Carol and Frank in Annie Get Your Gun, all for Enniskillen's Light Operatic Society. Other stage roles include Look Who's Talking, Da and Playboy of the Western World.

He has appeared in Pantomime in Belfast in the Waterfront Hall (2001–2003), Grand Opera House (2004–2005) and returns now each year to Derry/Londonderry in the Millennium Forum since 2006.

As a busy stand up comedian he has toured around the region with a brand new show every year since 2000 using material that is family friendly.

He now works regularly around the world as a Guest Entertainer onboard various Cruise Ships.
