Award-winning stand-up comedian, actor and writer Paul Chowdhry has announced his new ‘Englandia’ UK stand-up tour for 2025. Kicking off in Ipswich on 2nd March, he will perform 33 dates across the country which includes two major arena shows at Birmingham Utlilia Arena and London The O2 before concluding in Newcastle on 24th May.
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 demand. This tour garnered widespread praise, culminating in a sold-out run at the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2023.
This followed Live Innit, a 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 “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 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. Paul Chowdhry continues to captivate audiences worldwide, leaving an indelible mark on the world of comedy.
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 go on sale Friday 25th October at 10am (presale 23/10 at 10am) and will be available here.
