D’Unbelievably profitable year for Shortt

One of Ireland’s funniest men, Pat Shortt, is laughing all the way to the bank with his main firm recording profits of €379,245 last year.

The award-winning entertainer — currently starring in Chris O’Dowd’s Moone Boy — operates a number of companies to conduct his entertainment business, with Short Comedy Theatre Co Ltd, acting as a parent company. Separate accounts lodged by a subsidiary, Gable End Media Ltd show profits of €298,303 last year.

A spokeswoman for the star of D’Unbelievables and Killinascully said yesterday: “Pat was very happy with the year.”
