Patrick Kielty is a stand-up comedian, television presenter and radio DJ from Northern Ireland. He is perhaps best known for hosting the BBC One comedy panel show, Have I Got News for You.

Born in Downpatrick, County Down, on 31 October 1971, Kielty is the son of a primary school teacher and a social worker. He has two older sisters. Kielty was educated at St Patrick’s Grammar School in Downpatrick and at Queen’s University Belfast, where he studied English and French.

Kielty’s first foray into the world of comedy was as a stand-up comedian in the early 1990s. He later became a regular on the Belfast comedy circuit and was a finalist in the BBC New Comedy Awards in 1996.

Kielty’s big break came in 2001 when he was asked to host Have I Got News for You. He has since hosted a number of other high-profile shows, including The Kumars at No. 42, Comic Relief and Sport Relief.

Kielty has also presented a number of documentaries, including Patrick Kielty Almost Live (2003), Patrick Kielty’s Northern Ireland (2004) and Patrick Kielty’s Great Irish Escape (2005).

In addition to his work on television, Kielty is also a regular contributor to BBC Radio 4’s The News Quiz and has hosted his own radio show, Patrick Kielty’s Hit Parade, on BBC Radio 2.

Kielty has been married to Cat Deeley, a television presenter, since 2012. The couple have two sons.

Kielty has an estimated net worth of £4 million.
