Pat Tansey
The theme of Pat Tansey's hilarious after dinner speech: "Laughter Doesn't Hurt".
Pat is a rarity. He is one of the few humorists who has successfully made the transition from nightclub comedian to motivational and after dinner speaker.
His speech takes you on a journey through life: from the uncertainties of adolescence right through to the uncertainties of full maturity.
Throughout the journey, you will be regaled with anecdotes, witticisms and funny stories culminating in Pat's version of "This Is Your Life", acclaimed by everyone who sees it as a masterpiece of comedy.
He was a recipient of the prestigious "Comedian of the Year" award from TV producer Bill Hetterly. Numerous TV appearances on Granada TV's "The Comedians" led to international work on board luxury cruise liners.
For six years, Pat was employed by the BBC to warm up audiences for Blankety Blank, Paul Daniels Magic Show, Birds of a Feather and many more.
Pat then turned his talents to the corporate world. His ability to win over a discerning audience to his philosophy that "it's possible to be a better person when you smile a little more and grimace a little less" has led to such comments as "Brilliant", "Uplifting" and "I laughed and laughed and laughed".
His strict adherence to using only squeaky clean material has meant that over the years, Pat has entertained the best types of people in the best possible manner.
