About Pat Condell
Patrick Condell (born 23 November 1949) is a British writer, polemicist and former stand-up comedian. Raised in England, he left school at 16 and worked a variety of jobs, including logging in Canada, before returning to the United Kingdom to perform alternative comedy during the 1980s and 1990s. He performed at The Comedy Store as part of the Cutting Edge team and won the Time Out Comedy Award in 1991, and was a regular panellist on BBC Radio 1's Loose Talk from 1991 to 1994. His 2006 stand-up show Faith Hope and Sanity served as a platform for his atheist beliefs.
In early 2007 he began uploading monologue videos to the internet, primarily about religious authority and notably criticism of Islam, which drew both significant support and numerous death threats. He published collections of his video transcripts as Godless and Free in 2010 and Freedom Is My Religion in 2012.
