Career
While a student at St Patrick's Grammar School, Downpatrick, Kielty began to perform regularly. Kielty was refused to participate in a Games master who noticed his impersonations of local politicians, celebrities, and sportsmen. He began working as a psychology researcher at Queen's University Belfast, early in his career. The pair, along with his companion and fellow student Jackie Hamilton (later a BBC and independent producer), visited Dublin's new stand up club The Gasworks, run by performer/producer Billy Magra/McGrath. Jo Brand, Lee Evans, Jack Dee, Stewart Lee, Mark Lamarr, Eddie Izzard, and many more. The Gasworks hosted Sean Hughes, Jon Kenny/Pat Shortt, and Ardal O'Hanlon's first headline performances in Dublin, including athletes from Ireland. Billy encouraged Patrick and Jackie to open their own comedy club in Belfast, following a very good opening position (mainly doing impressions). The Empire on Botanic Avenue in Belfast was born. Patrick was a finalist in a National Comedy Search hosted by Billy for Ireland's most coveted television show The Late Late Show was held in the following year. Dylan Moran, another future actor who was also making his television debut, was another finalist. The story led to the creation of "The Empire Laughs Back," a hugely popular BBC Northern Ireland show "The Empire Laughs Back," which was also produced by Jackie. Donning a balaclava and making spoof paramilitary pronouncements was one of several routines at local gigs.
On television, Kielty hosted the show SUS in 1993. Anderson on the Box, the warm-up act for a BBC Northern Ireland show, was delivered by local celebrity Gerry Anderson. PK Tonight, the show's replacement, was on hand when it was canceled. Despite the fact that this was only on display in Northern Ireland for a year, it did pique the attention of London-based broadcasters, winning him the "Best Newcomer" Award at the 1996 Royal Television Society Awards. With TV producer Stephen Stewart, he founded Green Inc in 1997, producing shows like The Afternoon Show, Patrick Kielty Almost Live, and Ask Rhod Gilbert. Kielty had sold his stake in the company in 2010, according to the company's founder. Kielty has joined programs such as Last Chance Lottery and Patrick Kielty Almost Live, which are distributed throughout the United Kingdom. Following his liver transplant, former football star George Besterner appeared on Kielty's first television interview.
Kielty hosted 14 episodes of Stupid Punts from 2001 to 2003. After the break, he also created a series of After the Breakout. In the Simon and Garfunkel song "Bridge over Troubled Water," he did an impersonation of Martin McGuinness (who had some superficial visual similarity to Art Garfunkel). Kielty continued to appear on national television, mainly light-entertainment shows such as the BBC's Fame Academy, Comic Relief Does Fame Academy, and Love Island for ITV in 2005 and 2006. Kielty hosted the Opening Ceremony of the Special Olympics in Croke Park, Dublin, on June 21, 2003, to a worldwide audience of 800 million viewers.

In 2018, Kielty produced a documentary titled "My Dad, the Peace Agreement, and Me" for BBC Two. The initiative, which came on the 20th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, delves into the state of Northern Ireland two decades after it was established. Kielty discussed the murder of his father and the effect it had on him, as well as his decision to vote Yes to the Agreement in a referendum, even though it would result in the release of his father's killers from gaol. Arlene Foster, DUP chairman, school students at a combined (non-denominational) school, and a man who was blinded by a rubber bullet fired by a British soldier who was later befriended as a small boy by a rubber bullet fired by a British soldier, who was later returned to a small boy were also interviewed by the historian.
