Originating from Northern Ireland, Patrick Kielty is an established and respected comedian and television personality.
Patrick honed his comedic skills during his school years, impressing classmates and teachers alike with his impressions of celebrities, sportsmen, and politicians. While still at university, he made his mark on the local Belfast stand-up scene and broke into television in 1993 when he was chosen to present SUS on UTV.
Patrick’s fame continued to rise, and his appearances on Northern Irish television led to work on shows broadcast across the UK, including Last Chance Lottery and Patrick Kielty Almost Live. Over the years, his regular TV appearances have been interspersed with a series of stand-up tours and radio presenting jobs, filling in for personalities like Alan Carr, Simon Mayo, and Steve Wright.
In 2006, Patrick returned to the stand-up scene with another UK tour, and in 2007 he began work at the Trafalgar Theatre in London’s West End on the UK production of A Night In November, written by Northern Irish dramatist Marie Jones. He debuted in the play at the Grand Opera House in Belfast.
Patrick maintains a busy schedule on TV and radio. In 2012, he co-presented This Morning, alongside Kate Thornton and Emma Willis. In 2014 and 2015, he guest-hosted several episodes of The One Show, alongside regular host Alex Jones. In January 2015, US Country Star Garth Brooks gave his first UK interview to Patrick for a BBC Radio 2 Special from Boston, Massachusetts.
The County Down comedian blends his love for sports and passion for charity work by participating in the biennial Soccer Aid event, playing as goalkeeper for the Rest of the World team. Patrick has also frequently appeared in Comic Relief sketches supporting various charitable causes, most recently in March 2015 after the British boy band One Direction posted a short clip announcing who would portray them in a 'No Direction' tribute for Red Nose Day!
Patrick married fellow celebrity and presenter Cat Deeley in September 2012 after a whirlwind romance, although the couple had been close friends since working together on Fame Academy.
Patrick is a regular host on The One Show and has recently been the frontman of BBC shows ‘Delete, Delete, Delete’ and ‘Debateable.’
As an Awards Host, Patrick is superb and is often asked back by clients. He has received rave reviews for his lively and animated compering of many events, including The Evening Standard New Homes Awards and the Structural Steel Design Awards.
