Gary Delaney is a British stand-up comedian and writer known for his pun-filled one-liners delivered in a deadpan style. Before entering the comedy scene, he studied economics at the London School of Economics. Gary gained recognition through his appearances on "Mock the Week" and has been nominated for Chortle Awards. He has written for Kerrang! 105.2 and appeared in the horror-comedy film "Trash House." His comedy has been featured in the top ten of Dave's TV Funniest Jokes from the Edinburgh Fringe, making him the only comic to achieve this with two gags. Gary has won two Sony Awards and has appeared on various TV and radio shows, including "Live at the Apollo," "Richard Osman’s House of Games," and "The Unbelievable Truth." He has also contributed to programmes like "8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown" and "The British Comedy Awards." His book, "Pundamentalist: 1,000 Jokes You Probably Haven’t Heard Before," showcases his unique style. Regarded as one of the most quotable one-liner comics in the UK, Gary's charm and wit have attracted a large audience. His tours across the UK and Ireland sell over a quarter of a million tickets. He frequently performs at corporate events and has gained a significant following on Twitter, with notable followers including Ricky Gervais and Tyson Fury. Gary married fellow comedian Sarah Millican in December 2013. His blend of cheeky humour and engaging delivery resonates with audiences, solidifying his place in the comedy landscape.
