Comedian and TV personality Paddy McGuinness is embarking on his first UK tour in eight years in 2024, and like a lot of artists’ ticket sales that we’ve seen recently — we’re looking at you Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo and Pink — you have to register to be eligible for McGuinness pre-sale tickets. But don’t fear, our gig-loving friends, we’re on hand to tell you exactly how to register today.

It seems like the Bolton-born comedian has been on our TV screens forever; we can’t remember a time when ‘no likey, no lighty’, from the hit ITV dating show Take Me Out hosted by McGuinness, wasn’t in our vocabulary.

However, it was through the help of fellow comedian Peter Kay that McGuinness rose to fame; Kay invited the now 50-year-old to appear in programmes such as That Peter Kay Thing, Phoenix Nights and Max and Paddy’s Road to Nowhere.

As well as the dating show Take Me Out, which McGuinness hosted for nine years, the comedian starred in BBC’s Top Gear since 2019 and has fronted A Question of Sport since 2021.

However, it’s stand-up comedy where McGuinness came from, and he’ll be returning to his roots with the Nearly There UK tour. Speaking about the run, the presenter said: “It’s been eight years since my last tour, and there’s lots of things to laugh about! I’m looking forward to getting back in front of a live audience, along with running the gauntlet of cancel culture, clickbait and fake news!”

Let’s find out how you can secure tickets today.
