Comedian Paul Chowdhry has announced further extra dates to his ‘Englandia’ UK stand-up tour for 2025. The new shows will take place across September 2025 in Crewe, Derby, Guildford and Hayes.
Kicking things off in St Albans on 5th March, Paul will now perform 41-dates across the country which includes two major arena shows at London The O2 and Birmingham Utlilia Arena.
Renowned as the most successful British Indian stand-up comedian in British history, Paul’s career is marked by numerous accolades and groundbreaking achievements. In a remarkable feat, Paul completed his Family-Friendly Comedian nationwide UK tour from 2021 to 2023, which saw three extensions due to overwhelming demand. This tour garnered widespread praise, culminating in a sold-out run at the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2023, where it earned rave reviews and ratings ranging from 4 to 5 stars.
This follows Live Innit, a record-breaking tour that saw Paul perform five nights at the Hammersmith Apollo and become the first British-Asian stand-up to sell out London's Wembley Arena. Paul’s talent has earned him prestigious awards, including “Best Live Event” at the ITV Asian Media Awards, “Comedian of the Year” at the Asian Voice Awards, and the esteemed “Eastern Eye Comedian of the Year” award. Described by The Eastern Eye as “the greatest British Asian comedian of all time,” Paul’s impact on the comedy scene is undeniable.
Beyond stand-up, Paul shines as an actor and has starred in the international series Devils as well as countless TV shows such as Stand Up for the Week, Live at the Apollo and the multi-award nominated show Taskmaster. Paul also hosts his own podcast The Paul Chowdhry PudCast, interviewing celebrities on life’s turning points with guests including Russell Howard, London Hughes and Stewart Lee.
Paul’s influence extends online and he maintains a vibrant social media presence with his videos amassing millions of views. With his boundless talent and undeniable charisma, Paul Chowdhry continues to captivate audiences worldwide, leaving an indelible mark on the world of comedy.
Speaking on his new UK tour Paul said: “After more than a quarter of a century and half my life on comedy stages, it's time to embark on my biggest tour ever. I hope to see you there—the audiences who made this dream possible. If not, I'll be in massive debt and doing benefit gigs for the foreseeable future.”
Tickets for the extra shows go on sale Friday 7th March at 10am, tickets for all other dates are on sale now and available here.
