Patrick Kielty
Patrick is a successful stand-up comedian and presenter who began his career while still at university in Belfast. His satirical stand-up routines at the city’s Empire pub earned him local fame and he soon progressed to TV.
After a stint as a warm-up act, his big break came in 1995 when he was offered his own show on BBC Northern Ireland. PK Tonight achieved huge acclaim and after a year or so he moved on to present a new show, Patrick Kielty Almost live, which was shown on BBC nationwide.
Since then, Patrick has continued to juggle his stand-up career with presenting light entertainment programmes such as Celebrity Love Island, Love Island and of course, Comic Relief does Fame Academy.
Apparently, one of his ambitions is to learn to monoski (that’s waterskiing on one ski for the uninitiated).
