Paul Smith: HAPPY

Paul Smith is back at the Bournemouth International Centre on Wednesday 18 November, with a second date on Saturday 28 November. Both shows start at 8:00pm in the BIC Windsor Hall, so you've got two chances to catch him if one night doesn't suit.

He's touring HAPPY, which he's billed as the biggest and boldest show of his career. It follows sold-out runs and viral success across the globe, and the Bournemouth dates are part of that wider run. The set leans on the things he's known for: crowd work, sharp observations and true stories told for laughs. He describes the show as fast, fearless and relentlessly funny, and it's built around the same crowd-led energy that's made him a name on the circuit.

It's a wide-reaching tour, with dates across the UK, Ireland, Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand, so Bournemouth is just one stop on a very long road. The age guidance is 16+, and tickets start from £41.50.
