Shortt toured alongside Jon Kenny as D'Unbelievables. They were a very successful duo until 2000, releasing One Hell of a Video, D'Unbelievables, D'Video (a live random sketch show), D'Telly (featuring Shortt and Kenny playing various characters - primarily two brothers who run a shop together), D'Mother (in which Kenny's character oversaw the running of a public house alongside his "mother" - who was later revealed to be his father, in a role played by Shortt) and D'collection. One character played by Shortt was Dan Clancy, known for telling "his stories". He later appeared as 5 different characters in the spin-off Killinascully. The group were highly successful in Ireland, selling out the Vicar Street venue for 14 weeks. The group stopped touring after Kenny was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma.

In 2009, Shortt created and starred in a comedy, Mattie, for RTÉ, based in a Garda Station. The series was retitled and reworked in 2011. The cast included Sue Collins.

He starred in the 2007 Cannes award-winning film Garage, directed by Lenny Abrahamson. Shortt won the Best Actor award at the 2008 IFTAs for his performance in this film. In 2008, An Post issued a postage stamp featuring Pat Shortt, as Josie, in the film Garage.

In 2014 Shortt appeared in Episode 3, Season 2 of the hit Sky 1 show Moone Boy. The episode featured Shortt as a lonely island caretaker, self-styled as Island Joe. In the episode the main character Martin Moone and his friend Padraig sail down the River Boyle on a raft that they imagine is a ghost raft. They inadvertently end up in the middle of Lough Key forest park and disembark upon an island with an abandoned castle right in the middle of it. There, Shortt's character Island Joe entertains the boys and later helps them to return to the mainland.
