Paddy McGuinness - Blast From The Past

Paddy McGuinness brings his new stand-up show, Blast From The Past, to the Swansea Building Society Arena on Saturday 12 February 2028. It's part of a brand-new UK tour running across 2027 and 2028, his first since Nearly There, which ran from 2024 into spring 2025 and sold out more than 50 dates across the UK and Ireland.

Most of us know him as a presenter and actor — a proud Boltonian whose sharp wit and easy-going humour made him a household name. He's best known for fronting ITV's Take Me Out and presenting the BBC's Top Gear, and this show sees him return to the live stage. He describes Blast From The Past as a warm trip down memory lane, full of the telly, tunes and daft little things that take you back, mixed with plenty of modern life woes along the way. It blends his trademark stand-up with a nostalgia-filled celebration of the television, music and pop culture that shaped a generation.

He's been keeping busy on screen, too. He's returned to television with Tempting Fortune on Channel 4 and Inside the Factory on BBC One, and he's set to co-host a revival of Big Break for BBC Two and BBC iPlayer. So if you've followed his work on the telly, this is a chance to see him back on stage with new material.

The Swansea date falls on Saturday 12 February 2028, with doors opening approximately 30 minutes before the show starts.
