If you like your comedy laidback and relentlessly funny then you’ll love Jarlath Regan. Since 2003 Jarlath has been making audiences all over Ireland and the U.K. howl with laughter at his inspired one-liners and razor-sharp observations. In 2004 he was catapulted to prominence by qualifying for and competing in the final of the BBC and Channel 4 new comedy awards at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Today he is fast becoming recognised as “one to watch” in the new generation of sharp and exciting comedians emerging from Ireland.
“Young, gifted and green” – The Star
2006 was his breakout year. Supporting Ardal O’Hanlon on his tour of Ireland Jarlath wowed the expectant crowds. He also took part in the Kilkenny Cat Laughs Comedy Festival and appeared alongside Tommy Tiernan in the Irish Gala performance at the prestigious Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal, Canada.
“He has a skilful way with words and a playful misplaced logic” – Chortle
An accomplished master of ceremonies, Jarlath is constantly in demand to host college events, corporate functions, charity fundraisers and many of the top comedy clubs in Ireland.
“You just can’t help yourself from laughing” – Capital Magazine
As a writer Jarlath has worked extensively in radio and television.
