About this show
You’re born alone, you die alone. That’s true enough. But what happened to that part in the middle? Big Year for Pad. SNL (UK, but still a big deal), a bunch of awards (hate bringing them up), and plenty of bit-parts to boot. But what’s it all about? I’ve fallen in love more times than you’ve had hot dinners and I’ve fumbled every single one of them. But I don’t even think about that shit anymore. Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer nominee in 2023. * (Rolling Stone). (Independent). (Chortle.co.uk).

When Paddy Young enters the stage at one of his many sold-out performances of this year's Edinburgh Fringe, the atmosphere in the room changes. Is it the hair? Is it the moustache? Is it the fact he’s on the telly?
