Paul Smith: Happy - 2026/2027 World Tour

Paul Smith brings his HAPPY tour to The Spa Scarborough on Friday 13 November, with the show starting at 19:30. It's part of a massive world tour that takes him across the UK, Ireland, Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand, so Scarborough is one of many stops on a very long run.

If you've come across his clips online, you'll know the crowd work is a big part of what he does. He spends a good chunk of the night talking to the people in the room, and that's woven in with his stand-up rather than kept separate. Around that, he builds the set from razor-sharp observations and true stories, the kind of stuff that comes from finding the funny in the everyday chaos we all deal with. It's a mix of the planned material and the things that happen on the night, so no two shows end up being exactly the same.

He's billing HAPPY as the biggest and boldest show of his career, and it follows a string of sold-out runs and viral success across the globe. He describes the stand-up as being at full throttle — fast, fearless and relentlessly funny. It's the same approach he's become known for, just pushed further, and it's the same show he's taking to those different continents over the course of the tour.

Tickets are £35, and the show starts at 19:30 at The Spa Scarborough on South Bay, YO11 2HD. It's a Friday night, so it's an easy one to build a proper evening around.
