About Neil

Neil Delamere’s high-energy sets and instinctive improvisation have made him one of Ireland’s most popular stand-ups, earning rave reviews and tens of millions of views online. On television, Neil has appeared on Mock the Week (TLC), Live at the Apollo (BBC), QI (BBC), Countdown (Channel 4), Richard Osman’s House of Games (BBC), Celebrity Mastermind (BBC), Beat the Chasers (ITV), The Chase (ITV) and The Late Late Show (RTÉ), along with many years on the panel of The Blame Game (BBC).

Radio listeners will know Neil from The News Quiz (BBC Radio 4), The Unbelievable Truth with David Mitchell (BBC Radio 4) and Fighting Talk (BBC 5 Live), where he has been crowned Champion of Champions. With Today FM’s Dave Moore, Neil also co-hosts the podcast Why Would You Tell Me That?

On stage, Neil has played everywhere from Vicar Street to the SSE Arena, as well as the Edinburgh Fringe, the Melbourne Comedy Festival and Montreal’s Just For Laughs. His new show, Neil’s on Wheels, follows a run of sell-out tours, most recently Achilles Neil and Reinventing the Neil, and is touring Ireland, Northern Ireland and Britain until May 2027.
