Paddy McGuinness: Nearly There… CANCELLED

About Paddy McGuinness: Nearly There… CANCELLED

One of the country’s best-loved and most popular comedians Paddy McGuinness has announced a major UK tour, his first since 2016! Paddy’s long-awaited return to stand-up will see him perform 40 dates across the UK in 2024 and 2025 including a show at Usher Hall.

Paddy McGuinness is a much-loved presence on British TV, from his legendary acting roles in Phoenix Nights, Max and Paddy and The Keith and Paddy Picture Show to presenting primetime TV shows such as Take Me Out and BBC's Top Gear, as well as having sold out hundreds of venues across the country on his stand-up tours. In 2021 Paddy releases his acclaimed autobiography My Lifey. Now Paddy is raring to get back to where he belongs – on stage, making people laugh, with his hotly anticipated show.

Paddy said: “It’s been eight years since my last tour and there’s lots of things to laugh about! I’m looking forward to getting back in front of a live audience, along with running the gauntlet of cancel culture, click bait and fake news!
