Paddy Young

Paddy Young's stand-up show Will Sir Be Laughing Alone? is a new tour production of comedy material, presented at Manchester New Century Hall. It is a single-performer stand-up hour.

Will Sir Be Laughing Alone? is a stand-up comedy show in which Paddy Young draws on romantic misadventures, from a run of failed relationships to the lessons the performer claims to have learnt from them. The material is delivered in a conversational, self-deprecating style, and the performer's own point of view on dating runs through the hour.

On stage, the show is a single-performer set rather than a play or musical, with the jokes and storytelling carried entirely by Paddy Young. Paddy Young is an award-winning stand-up who has appeared on Saturday Night Live UK, Mitchell & Webb Are Not Helping and Everyone Else Burns, and who recorded the stand-up special Hungry. Horny. Scared. Reviewers including Rolling Stone, The Independent, The Scotsman and Chortle have praised the energy and timing of the performance.

The show is presented by Berk's Nest in association with PARKAS, and is staged at Manchester New Century Hall, a venue in Manchester that hosts concerts and shows. It suits audiences who enjoy stand-up comedy built around personal stories.
