Keith Farnan
Irish Comedian, Award Host, & MC
Comedian & Award Host Keith Farnan is the kind of comedian for hire that some people may not have heard of but everyone who has seen him cannot help but be charmed as they enjoy his company and his wit. Born in Cobh County Cork, Keith is a familiar face on the frequently televised Michael McIntyre Comedy Roadshow. Keith’s engaging manner and his ability to create a routine that incorporates the work and ethos of the corporations and businesses he is asked to entertain sees him invited back to work with clients again and again.
A former solicitor, Keith’s unique and intelligent insights into social issues have seen him appear at the world-famous Montreal’s Just for Laughs Festival and Showtime’s Live with Russell Peters. Having been a Top Time Out Comedian’s Choice in New York, Dubai and Hong Kong all in the same year, he has not only presented awards and performed at company events around the world, but has helped develop various bespoke experiences for clients. He has written for countless publications, radio and television and developed his own TV stand up show, “Money, Money, Money” for Irish television based on the economic crash in Ireland.
