Des Clarke is one of the UK’s most exciting performers.
He has made a name for himself as both a highly successful comedian and one of television and radio’s hottest presenters.
It all began for Des when he won a nationwide search to host the iconic Saturday morning show SM: TV Live.
This weekly two-hour broadcast showcased his abilities both as a comedian and presenter, including character sketches, celebrity interviews and comic monologues.
That led to an impressive and diverse TV career with presenting credits ranging from the STV Appeal, Invention SOS, Sportsround, Club Cupid and five years as anchor of BBC Scotland’s Children In Need.

Des Clarke Testimonials
Des Clarke may actually be the funniest man I’ve ever seen. Absolutely excellent. He speaks in a stammering wall of sound… then a full sentence emerges it stands out as starkly as a rhyming couplet. The man’s a poet.
BBC
Clarke’s performances are in a league of their own. Onstage, he is a racing car wrapped in an express train inside a space rocket. And he’s funny. Very funny.
Sunday Herald
The prodigious talent of Des Clarke shone like no other comedian. His energy is boundless. Des Clarke is on the cusp of stardom. He’s a blistering cacophony of comic neurosis, whose fusion of speed and erratic nonsense is incredible. A true Scottish comedy genius in waiting.
The List
Touched by genius. His comedy was astonishing and indescribably funny, leaving the audience breathless.
Edinburgh Evening News
So funny it’s almost painful to watch him perform… genius in action.
Metro
Memorable, distinctive and very popular… he is a comedic Kalashnikov.
The Stage
Frighteningly talented. Clarke – with an E – is going to be a star.
Chortle
An irresistible comedian… simply unmissable.
