YOUR chance to catch a glimpse of Patrick Kielty as he embarks on his first ever UK stand-up tour this Autumn is fast-approaching.

The Irish entertainer will be performing a string of dates across the British Isles and he will be at the Alexandra Theatre in Birmingham on Saturday, October 8.

The tour caps a hugely successful 2005 for Kielty, who hosted Comic Relief as well as most recently fronting Celebrity Love Island on ITV1.

From partying with Paris Hilton to backstage at the Pope's funeral and from Muslim theme pubs to Michael Jackson's pyjama parties, Patrick's first UK one man show will give his audience the opportunity to hear his razor sharp wit at its unedited irreverent best.

It is a return to his stand up roots for the Irish star who opened The Empire, Belfast's first stand up comedy club, in the early 1990s. His easy going charm, quickfire humour and politically charged material soon established him as one of Ireland's hottest talents before being snapped up for a successful career in television.
