Gary Delaney: Gary On Laughing

Gary Delaney is coming to the Swansea Grand Theatre on Wednesday 3 February 2027, with his new show Gary On Laughing. If you've never seen him, he's an English comedian who works almost entirely in one-liners and pun-based humour, all delivered in a deadpan style. He's built his following on that kind of sharp wit and clever wordplay, so it's a set that moves quickly from one joke to the next rather than lingering on long stories.

This is a brand-new show full of all new jokes, and Delaney describes it as containing 'utterly splendid filth'. He's quite clear about the intended audience, too: he advises leaving the children at home and suggests wearing a TENA pad or dark trousers. It's the kind of warning that tells you exactly what you're signing up for.

He's no stranger to the road. His last UK tour ran for two and a half years across 378 dates, drawing audiences who kept coming back, and his videos have gathered hundreds of millions of views. Now he's doing it all again with this new material. The critics have been on board with the approach: The Times called him a 'master craftsman', and The Scotsman noted that he packs 'more quality jokes in one hour than most comics have in their entire careers'.

The show starts at 18:30 at the Grand Theatre on Singleton Street, SA1 3QJ, and tickets start from £28.
