More About

Ireland-born Aisling Bea is a world-renowned stand-up comedian, actress, podcast guest, and event host.

Whilst growing up surrounded by horses, Aisling expressed her lack of interest in that lifestyle from a very young age and instead expressed a keen interest in performing. Now a household name, Aisling has appeared on popular comedy shows such as Never Mind the Buzzcocks (2014), QI (2014-2022), and 8 Out of 10 Cats (2016) – where she was team captain.

With over 1.7 million followers across social media platforms, Aisling is a fun and down-to-earth personality.

Engaging, hilarious, and passionate, Aisling is an entertaining after-dinner speaker, event or award host who will fill all audiences with laughter and joy.

Aisling Bea’s love of performing came early, and she often participated in sketch comedy groups while at Dublin College. After graduating, she moved to London and completed a two-year course at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. Noticing her early roles were, more often than not, comedic, she tried stand-up and was an instant success, winning the Gilded Balloon So You Think You’re Funny award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival just one year after her debut comedy show.

Aisling has been a regular guest on television shows, including Would I Lie To You (2015), Taskmaster (2017), The Last Leg (2016-2023), RuPaul’s Drag Race UK (2022), Lorraine (2021), The Graham Norton Show (2021), Richard Osman’s House of Games (2020), The One Show (2019), The Great Celebrity Bake Off for SU2C (2018), and Room 101 (2016).

She hasn’t completely disregarded her roots though and still acts in TV series, including Lewis (2011), Holby City (2011), Trollied (2014-2015), The Fall (2016), Gap Year (2017), The Roy Files (201), Quiz (2020), Doctor Who (2022), and This Way Up (2019-2021) – for which she won a BAFTA Craft Award for Breakthrough Talent thanks to her writing of the show.
