Paddy McGuinness announces huge 'Blast From The Past' UK tour
Tickets will go on sale soon
Paddy McGuinness has announced he will be going on a huge UK tour starting next autumn. The comedian, who was last on tour in 2024-2025 for his 'Nearly There' tour, will be returning to the road for his 'Blast From The Past' UK tour, with 33 dates across the UK.
The much-loved comedian and television presenter will return to the stage with a new show combining his trademark stand-up with a playful, nostalgia-packed celebration of the television, music and pop-culture moments that shaped a generation.
Speaking about his new tour, Paddy said: "This new tour is all about nostalgia — the telly, the tunes and the daft little things that instantly take you back. This is me doing what I love: making people laugh! It’ll be a big, funny warm trip down memory lane, but with plenty of modern life woes along the way. Grab your rose tinted spectacles and a ticket!”
