Stand-up show in which Paddy McGuinness mixes his trademark comedy with a nostalgia-packed tour of the TV, music and pop-culture moments of a generation.
Paddy McGuinness is coming to Connexin Live on Saturday 13 November 2027, as part of his new tour Blast from The Past. It's a stand-up show, but it's not just a run of jokes; he's blending his usual stand-up with a nostalgia-filled look back at the television, music and pop culture that shaped a generation. He describes it as a warm trip down memory lane, with plenty of modern life woes mixed in along the way.
Most of us know him as the face of ITV's Take Me Out and as a presenter on the BBC's Top Gear. This is his first tour since Nearly There, which ran from 2024 into spring 2025 and sold out more than 50 dates across the UK and Ireland. He's been back on the screen lately too: Tempting Fortune on Channel 4, Inside the Factory on BBC One, and he's set to co-host a revival of Big Break for BBC Two and BBC iPlayer. Blast from The Past takes that TV background and turns it into the show itself, so the nostalgia isn't just a side note—it's the whole point.
