Before his comedy career, he studied economics at the London School of Economics.

When Delaney complained, the site removed the material and replaced it with a notice saying "joke removed due to a copyright complaint by Gary Delaney" and a link to his website.
He received abuse and death threats from the site's users.
However, his actions led the website to begin to attribute authorship of the jokes appearing on its site.In 2003, Delaney toured the UK supporting Jerry Sadowitz, performing at venues including Manchester University and Shepherd's Bush Empire, London.
His first Edinburgh Festival Fringe show, Purist, won generally positive reviews, including four stars from comedy website Chortle, and The Independent newspaper.
Delaney had two of his gags included in the top ten of the third annual Dave Award for the Funniest Joke of the Fringe, the only comedian to do so.
Following an increased profile due to appearances on Mock the Week and Dave's One Night Stand, Delaney toured Purist in 2013.In July 2012, Delaney appeared on Mock the Week.

The BBC, however, reiterated that Mock the Week contains irreverent humour and that the comment was "obviously tongue-in-cheek".He began a relationship with fellow stand up comedian Sarah Millican in 2006.
The couple moved in together in 2013 and married in December 2013.Contributing to the topical podcast No Pressure to be Funny, in May 2013, he described himself as a "right-wing libertarian".
