Paddy McGuinness is heading back on the road with a brand-new UK comedy tour, Blast From The Past, featuring 33 shows across 2027 and 2028. The comedian and television presenter will kick off the tour at Blackburn’s King George’s Hall on Saturday 16 October 2027, before visiting cities including Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool, Cardiff and Birmingham. Tickets go on general sale on Friday 6 November 2026 at 10am, with an exclusive presale beginning two days earlier.

Following the success of his sold-out Nearly There tour, McGuinness is returning to stand-up with a show celebrating the television programmes, music and pop culture moments that defined growing up for a generation. The new tour promises plenty of nostalgia, with Paddy looking back at familiar childhood favourites and those little things we all remember, alongside his observations about the joys and frustrations of modern life.

Speaking about the new tour, Paddy said: “This new tour is all about nostalgia – the telly, the tunes and the daft little things that instantly take you back. This is me doing what I love: making people laugh! It’ll be a big, funny warm trip down memory lane, but with plenty of modern life woes along the way. Grab your rose tinted spectacles and a ticket!”

McGuinness is best known for hosting ITV’s Take Me Out and BBC’s Top Gear, alongside his comedy work in Phoenix Nights and Max & Paddy’s Road to Nowhere. His previous Nearly There tour ran from 2024 into spring 2025, selling out more than 50 performances across the UK and Ireland.

More recently, Paddy raised £10.5 million for BBC Children in Need with his 2024 cycling challenge from Wrexham to Glasgow, launched The Good, The Bad and The Football podcast alongside Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes, and continues to present his Sunday morning show on BBC Radio 2. He has also been announced as a co-host of the upcoming Big Break revival for BBC Two and BBC iPlayer.
