Pat Shortt started in comedy when he left Art College. With Jon Kenny he created ‘D’Unbelievables’, Ireland’s most popular comedy duo.

As a solo artist Pat’s first show was a sell-out. Called simply Pat Shortt Live it played more than 250 dates around Ireland. It began at the Cats Laughs Festival in Kilkenny, where it sold out before the festival even opened, the first act ever to achieve this landmark.

His second show ‘ You Won’t Get Away With That Here" has achieved equal success selling out shows all over the country.

In 2006, he scored the big hit in Ireland with the song "The Jumbo Breakfast Roll" under the guise of Showband singer Dicksie Walsh. The song was a number one hit in Ireland for six weeks with sales going 4 times platinum.
