Paddy McGuinness is best known for hosting ITV’s Saturday-night favourite Take Me Out and for presenting the BBC’s Top Gear. Last year, the comedian’s sold-out Nearly There tour ran from 2024 into spring 2025, selling out more than 50 dates across the UK and Ireland. McGuinness also returned to television for Channel 4’s challenge series Tempting Fortune and Inside the Factory on BBC One.
This year, it was announced that McGuinness is set to co-host a revival of Big Break for BBC Two and BBC iPlayer, bringing the television nostalgia celebrated in his new live show to the screen as well.
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!”
