Multi award-winning comedian, writer and actor Paddy Raff is one of Northern Ireland’s most exciting comic performers.

Paddy is the creator and star of the hit BBC sketch series THE PADDY RAFF SHOW, which ran for two acclaimed seasons. The pilot episode was nominated for an RTS NI Award and went on to win the Celtic Media Festival Award for Scripted Comedy. The series firmly established Paddy as a standout character performer, showcasing his range across original creations and sharply observed sketches.

Over 2020-2022, Paddy’s work became a viral staple during lockdown, earning him the title “The comedy star of the Coronavirus lockdown” from The Irish Times. His sketches have now amassed millions of views across social media, building an audience of more than 210k followers.

On stage, Paddy made history in 2020 with a recording-breaking five night sell-out run at the SSE Arena, only two years after his stand up debut. He has since headlined major venues including the Ulster Hall and continues to be one of the best-selling comedy acts across UK and Ireland.

Paddy is now expanding further into acting, building on the character work and screencraft that defined his BBC series and his rapid rise as one of the most distinctive comedic talents of his generation.
