The gigs come as part of the comedian’s 2025 Irelandia tour

Paul Chowdhry has announced his brand new stand-up tour, which features three Irish dates including Belfast’s Ulster Hall on September 16 and Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre on September 17, before closing with a show in Cork Opera House on September 18.

A renowned British Indian stand-up comedian, Chowdry completed his Family-Friendly Comedian nationwide UK tour from 2021 to 2023, which saw three extensions due to overwhelming demand.

Garnering widespread praise, the tour culminated in a sold-out run at the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2023, where it earned rave reviews and ratings ranging from 4 to 5 stars.

Over the course of his career, Chowdhry has earned a number of awards, including Best Live Event at the ITV Asian Media Awards, Comedian of the Year at the Asian Voice Awards, and the esteemed Eastern Eye Comedian of the Year award.

Paul also hosts his own podcast, The Paul Chowdhry PudCast, interviewing celebrities on life’s turning points with guests including Russell Howard, London Hughes and Stewart Lee.

Speaking on his new tour, Chowdry said: “After more than a quarter of a century and half my life on comedy stages, it's time to embark on my biggest tour ever.
