Stand-up show 'Happy' by Paul Smith, with his trademark crowd work and observations, marking the European leg of his world tour.
Paul Smith brings his new show Happy to Victoria Hall on Wednesday 11 November, starting at 19:30. It's billed as the biggest and boldest show of his career, following sold-out runs and viral success across the globe.
If you're not familiar with his style, Smith is known for his crowd work and razor-sharp observations, and Happy takes those to a new level. He describes it as stand-up at full throttle — fast, fearless and relentlessly funny, packed with outrageous audience interaction and stories pulled straight from real life. The show is framed as being about finding joy in the chaos and laughter in the everyday, so expect a good bit of the night to come from the room itself rather than just a set list.
