Best Newcomer nominee Paddy Young announces first tour
- Paddy Young has announced his debut UK tour, Hungry, Horny, Scared
- The comedian was yesterday shortlisted for an Edinburgh Comedy Award for the same show
- It will head out on the road from 30th September and tickets are now available
Comedian Paddy Young has revealed details of his first UK tour.
The comic will perform Hungry, Horny, Scared across a string of dates between 30th September and 3rd April 2024, starting at the Aberystwyth Comedy Festival.
Yesterday the comic was announced as one of seven nominees for this year's Best Newcomer prize, sponsored by DLT Entertainment, at the prestigious Edinburgh Comedy Awards, for his Fringe run of the same show.
The tour will include dates in York, Leeds and a run at London's Soho Theatre.
Promoters say: "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 flat share 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 flat share? 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."
Tickets are available through the promoter's website and via individual venue box offices.
