Patrick Monahan

The only Irish-Iranian-Geordie on the comedy circuit, Patrick's blend of improv and storytelling gave him a serious fan base before he won Show Me The Funny. According to a Standard critic, 'Monahan's Tiggerish energy could power the national grid.'
Biography
Patrick Monahan is a half-Irish, half-Iranian Geordie. He claims his family spent most of their holidays in customs. Despite, or maybe because of this colourful ancestry, Patrick is an increasingly successful comedian and a natural compere.
A great observer of life and people, Patrick’s mixture of charm, cheek and improvisation has made his a popular live performer with over half a dozen Edinburgh shows and performances from Luxembourg to Qatar to his name.
Patrick was the winner of ITV’s search for a new comedy star, Show Me The Funny, the prize for which included a UK tour and DVD release. Patrick has also appeared on The Armstrong and Miller Show, That’s So Last Week, Destination Unknown and a host of TV ‘list’ programmes. His smart observations and good-natured humour have also been put to good use warming up for the likes of Jonathan Ross, Catherine Tate and Paul O’Grady.
‘Patrick was great! He was a really nice friendly guy and went down a storm.’
Excellently, he kept the audience engaged and delivered the awards very well. He spent time with us over dinner finding out about the industry and meeting our chief executive and using this material in his set. He also maintained his professionalism during the awards but made it his own rather than just reading the script. Patrick was an absolute pleasure to work with and I would certainly recommend him and consider suing him again.
Patrick was fantastic. He sat down for dinner and really joined in. The audience thought he was fantastic.
I loved Patrick and thought he did an amazing job with a very difficult audience in a tricky venue! – He was brilliant and was a pleasure working with him – a few people on the night asked who I booked him through!
Patrick read the room very well. Everyone loved him.
I used Patrick for an internal sales confrence and he was one of the funniest comedians that I have ever had. However he interacts with the audience ALOT and picks on them – therefore if you don't want this to happen don't use him. Otherwise brilliant and a nice guy too.
