Rob Delaney | Speaker Biography

Co-creator and star of *Catastrophe*
Acclaimed comedian known for social media presence
Author of memoir *A Heart That Works*

Rob Delaney is a comedian, actor, and writer known for his impactful contributions to the entertainment industry. He studied musical theatre at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, graduating in 1999. A near-fatal car accident in 2002 prompted him to pursue comedy seriously and embrace sobriety.

Delaney gained fame through social media, particularly Twitter, where he began posting in 2009. His sharp wit quickly attracted a large following, and by 2016, he had over 1.2 million followers. His online presence earned him accolades, including recognition as one of the "Funniest People on Twitter" by Paste magazine in 2010 and the "Funniest Person on Twitter" award at The Comedy Awards in 2012.

His television breakthrough came with the series Catastrophe, which he co-created and starred in alongside Sharon Horgan. The show, airing from 2015 to 2019, explores the relationship between an American man and an Irish woman following a brief affair. It received critical acclaim, earning Delaney an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Comedy Writing and several BAFTA TV Craft Awards.

Delaney has appeared in various films and television shows, including Deadpool 2, Hobbs & Shaw, Tom & Jerry, and Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One. He has also featured on British panel shows like Have I Got News for You and Would I Lie to You?.

In 2022, Delaney published his memoir A Heart That Works, detailing his personal struggles, including the loss of his young son to brain cancer. He continues to be an influential figure in comedy, known for his resilience and dedication. Residing in London with his wife Leah and their four sons, Delaney remains a respected presence in both British and American comedy.
