We’ve a pain in our sides when we leave Pat and Faye Shortt. It’s no surprise that they are absolutely gas!
The pair have been working together for five years.
They have formed an incredible double act, and are busy touring their live shows up and down the country to thousands of people. It’s been enjoyed so much, that the duo are even launching a podcast in the new year, with the same premise.
However, this wasn’t always the plan for Faye, speaking to VIP Magazine for our November issue, she explains that moving back home sparked the flame of their comedy duo.
“When COVID happened, I moved back home from Dublin where I was studying, so we were both living together in Limerick at the time. There wasn’t much going on so we started doing sketches together out the back, trying to keep ourselves occupied more than anything. Then we got offered to do RTÉ’s Comic Relief and their New Year’s Eve special,” she tells us.
“From there on, it just developed organically, and dad asked me to go on tour with him.”
Her proud father tells us: “A lot of people would ask if we’ve a similar sense of humour, but of course we do, living in the same house together where she grew up. She’d have been going to D’Unbelievable shows from a very young age, maybe two or three and she was in one of D’Unbelievable videos.
“Faye was always there, having the craic, enjoying the fun. She’d be on set or backstage, touring with me all the time. It made sense that we’d do something together.”
And we love that for them! And for the rest of the world who gets to enjoy their hilarious double act.
