Karl Spain

Karl Spain is one of Irelands best comedians. In his short career he has already achieved an awful lot. He burst on the scene in 2000 by winning a newcomer competition on R.T.E. and has since maintained a high standard.

In 2003 he was thrilled to be chosen as one of the Irish acts at the Montreal 'Just for Laughs' festival which was recently repeated on R.T.E. 2.

In 2004 he performed at festivals around the world including Australia, Kilkenny and his well received solo debut at the Edinburgh festival 'Spain, Ireland and Beyond'.

Currently in development with a few T.V. projects, Karl has previously been seen on such shows as Xit File where he wrote and performed the Fitzie character who has also made some memorable live appearances around Ireland.

Other T.V credits include The Late Late show & The Liffey laughs for RTE as well as the BBC New Comedy Awards in 2002. And also if you look closely at the audience the time his brother Gary was on Where in the World, you can see Karl, he has a beard and is smiling.

Karl appeared in his own television show 'Karl Spain Wants a Woman' in 2005 and is also a regular guest on The Panel.
