Paul McCaffrey announces 2026 tour
What A Time To Be Alive
Paul McCaffrey has announced an 18-date tour for 2026 entitled What A Time To Be Alive.
In it, he will talk about life being a constant uphill struggle, doing battle with customer service agents and adapting to life as an older dad as his body is ‘collapsing’, having recently turned 50.
He said: ‘I’m from a different era and preferred it. My childhood now feels like an episode of How We Used To Live when the only things getting delivered were the newspapers and milk, not vapes on Uber Eats from a shop half a mile from your house.
‘At 50, I’ve accepted that I’m never going to be a rock star like my heroes, but I was invited to perform stand-up before one of my favourite bands [went on stage], and you can hear how that golden opportunity played out. So come along!
‘Going out feels like a hassle, I get it. I’d rather be at home (alone) with my feet up as well but if you drag yourself off the sofa, I promise to give you a night full of big laughs.’
McCaffrey has been a favoured support act of Sean Lock and Kevin Bridges and appeared on Live At The Apollo, BBC Three’s Impractical Jokers and Russell Howard’s Good News.
