Carl Donnelly

Join Carl Donnelly, one of the UK’s finest comedians as he brings you up to speed on how he’s settling into being a married middle-aged father with recurring stomach ulcers, a bald patch, and an internet search history that now includes ‘anti-leakage boxer shorts’.

With his signature blend of honesty and wit, Carl turns life’s darkest moments into comedy gold. Raise a glass and join him for laughs, resilience, and hard-earned perspective.

Previously nominated for both the Best Newcomer and Best Show in the Edinburgh Comedy Awards, he’s appeared on such shows as Mock The Week and Russell Howard’s Good News as well as recently supporting Kevin Bridges on his international tour. He’s also a regular on radio (BBC 5Live’s Fighting Talk and Talksport) as well as being one half of the podcast ‘TVI’ (Two Vegan Idiots).
