Paul Smith announces biggest ever HAPPY world tour

One of the world’s fastest-selling stand-up comedians, Paul Smith, has announced a brand new world tour for 2026 and 2027.

Presented by Hot Water Comedy Club, the HAPPY tour will be the biggest of Smith’s career to date, opening in Crewe on 1 July before heading across the UK and around the globe.

The announcement follows the huge success of his previous tour, which sold more than 650,000 tickets worldwide and cemented his status as one of the most in-demand comics on the circuit.

The new run will see Smith perform across the UK and Ireland as well as Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the Middle East and Europe, with further international dates still to be revealed.

HAPPY promises everything fans have come to expect from the Liverpool comic, including his quick-fire crowd work, sharp observations and stories drawn straight from real life. The show is described as a high-energy set packed with audience interaction and big laughs from start to finish.

An exclusive pre-sale for UK and Ireland dates opens at 10am on Wednesday 25 February, with fans able to sign up via the Hot Water Comedy Club website for early access. General sale begins at 10am on Friday 27 February.

The tour is promoted by Hot Water Comedy Club and is suitable for ages 16 and over.
