Keith is a UK Theatre award-nominated Actor, Writer & MC.

Keith played the role of Mickey in Series 1 of BBC Studios' CROOKHAVEN which aired earlier this year'. He played the guest role of Lenny for Series 5 of HARRY WILD which is soon to air on RTÉ and the short body horror film BREEDERS (in which Keith plays the lead role) continues to wow its audiences as it travels the World on the festival circuit.  

One of Keith’s career highlights came in 2024 at the Lyric Theatre, Belfast when he played Katurian in Martin McDonagh’s THE PILLOWMAN. For Keith’s portrayal of the protagonist and narrator he was nominated for Best Performance in a Play at the UK Theatre Awards. 

Here is a sample of the favourable reviews Keith received for his performance,

‘The cast is led by the outstanding Singleton, a natural and skilled storyteller, much like his weighted role as Katurian. Even in the darkest moments of interrogation, Katurian’s passion for his stories shines through his physicality, as he breathes life into each story.’

- The Arts Dispatch ★★★★★

‘Through a combination of nervous submission, brazen self-defence and manic humour, Singleton’s Katurian doesn’t miss a beat.’

The Stage★★★★

'The character of Katurian is delivered with pin-sharp precision by Keith Singleton.’

- The Irish Times

'Keith Singleton’s Katurian is a quietly powerful, touchingly vulnerable and intelligent performance.’

- British Theatre Guide

In further Television credits, Keith played the role of Inspector Connolly in BAFTA Award Winning series BLUE LIGHTS, he played Liam in series 2 of THE DRY and he played Mickey the Smuggler in all three series of the BBC’s SOFT BORDER PATROL.

Keith has penned two plays (SOMETHING DIFFERENT & SHEDMAN) which both played at The MAC, Belfast and received glowing reviews. 

Keith is a great lad altogether.
