Patrick Condell (born 23 November 1949) is a British writer, polemicist, and former stand-up comedian. In his early career, he wrote and performed in alternative comedy shows during the 1980s and 1990s in London, winning the Time Out Comedy Award in 1991. He was also a regular panelist on BBC Radio 1's Loose Talk programme.
In early 2007, Condell began uploading videos on the internet, consisting of monologue polemics primarily about religious authority, authoritarianism in government and left-wing politics, and notably criticism of Islam and the societal effects of Muslim immigration into Europe. His videos have also been published on DVD, and as a book of video transcripts.
