Biography

A star on the rise, Shane Todd has supported Bill Burr and Kevin Hart, and has performed regularly throughout the UK and toured the US with solo shows.

Like many comedians, Shane is an ‘overnight success’ 15 years in the making. Hailing from Holywood, Belfast, he went full time with his comedy career in 2015, but it wasn’t until 2020, when live entertainment came to a standstill, that he found his stride.

Pivoting to online outlets, the Jack-of-all-trades found a broad audience thanks to his Rave Lockdowns on Radio Ulster with comedic partner Dave Elliott.

Shane also stars in Previously With Shane Todd for BBC NI, hosts on BBC Radio Ulster, and his weekly podcast Tea With Me, features regularly in the Apple Podcast chart. Shane's online sketches and stand-up clips have amassed millions of clips and feed well into his stand up.

Shane has just launched a new podcast series We’re Not F**cking Historians which is an alternative guide to Irish history and is hosting the BBC New Comedy Awards in Belfast. He is also set to appear in the new series of ’The Stand Up Sketch Show' for ITV.
