Following the success of his Edinburgh Comedy Awards 2023 Best Newcomer nomination, comedian Paddy Young is set to embark on his first-ever UK tour, ‘Hungry, Horny, Scared’, from 30th September to 3rd April 2024, including dates in York, Leeds and a run at London’s Soho Theatre.
Following sold-out shows at the 2023 Fringe, Northern scamp Paddy Young’s debut UK tour mixes his charismatic, cult leader vibe with the inevitable reality that underneath it all he is hungry, horny and scared (aren’t we all?). Upon leaving a nightmare flatshare to move back in with his parents, Paddy is confronted with a spectacle that disturbingly resembles himself: Thor, a wanking walrus, stranded on Scarborough beach (it’s real, look it up). Join Paddy as he asks the hard-hitting questions: is everyone in his generation going to die still living in a flatshare? If Hitler was on drugs, how bad was his comedown? And what happens to TikTok families after their 15 minutes of fame? Let’s face it, Paddy is in the gutter, but he’s looking down on all of you.
Paddy is a comedian and actor, who is quickly becoming one of comedy’s fastest rising stars, having appeared on Channel 4, ITV2, Sky and Stewart Lee's recommendation list. Paddy makes daft videos that somehow have been viewed over 10 million times, occasionally teaming up with fellow comedians Horatio Gould and Ed Night, covering everything from King Charles at an afters, navigating housemate dynamics, to a posh actor in a Northern film.
Paddy regularly performs comedy across the UK, including shows at Machynlleth Comedy Festival, the Cambridge Fringe, the Brighton Fringe and with ‘A Lovely Time’ in Manchester. Paddy hosts his own sell out night ‘Rodeo’ in London, which he brought to the 2023 Fringe for a limited sell-out run. He has performed at O2 Shepherd’s Bush alongside comedians James Acaster and Mark Watson in a special one-off show ‘A Night for Ukraine’. He has also just returned from a mini US tour with BBC New Comedy Award Winner 2022 Dan Tiernan with dates in New York, Chicago and Nashville.
