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 star 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 forms part of an impressive TV career with presenting credits including Breaking The News, Des Doesn’t Do, Hogmanay Live, Sport Relief Tryathlon, STV Appeal, Club Cupid, Sportsround and Children in Need.
Not forgetting the honour of being asked to host the live Commonwealth Games Closing Ceremony to a global TV audience of 1 billion viewers.
Des is a much loved voice on the airwaves too and can be heard waking Scotland up every morning as host of the Heart Breakfast Show. He also fronts hit comedy series Breaking The News on BBC Radio Scotland.
Over the years he has interviewed some of the showbiz world’s biggest names including Ed Sheeran, Pink, Robbie Williams, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Rita Ora and Katy Perry.
Stand-up comedy remains Des’s first love and he performs regularly throughout the UK. He has also toured the world with his unique brand of observational humour, appearing on stage in New York, Dubai, Melbourne and Los Angeles.
Along the way, Des became one of Scotland’s best loved panto stars. Completing a record breaking 5 year headline run at the world famous King’s Theatre in Glasgow.
A high profile newspaper columnist and after dinner speaker too, Des Clarke has established himself as an exceptional all round performer.
