Horses Threaten Suicide Over Paddy McGuinness Tour

By Andrew Lawson


Horses across Britain could be committing suicide in their droves at the prospect of Paddy McGuinness' forthcoming comedy tour, according to fellow comedian Stewart Lee.

Lee put together a sketch in his BBC show, Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle, in which he depicted a remote countryside village, where Paddy McGuinness was being advertised to play, much to the disdain of a local horse.

In the final scene of the episode, Lee was seen riding a motorbike past a field where a dead horse lay beneath the Paddy McGuinness tour poster.

The sketch, which danced playfully and sometimes gruesomely around the issue of whether or not people in the countryside are really just bored and missing life in the city, ended with Lee putting some supposedly bored countryside inhabitants out of their misery, using a shotgun!

As ever, Stewart Lee's tongue was firmly in his cheek with this sketch, and the reality is that the latest Paddy McGuinness tour, dubbed the Saturday Night Live Tour, is hitting some of the UK's most high profile arena venues.

Aloud.com is selling comedy tickets for Paddy's shows at esteemed venues like the Liverpool Echo Arena, the Newcastle Metro Radio Arena, the Manchester MEN Arena and the NIA Academy in Birmingham, with sales reportedly going well already despite the tour being months away from starting.

This year is proving a good one for comedy fans, who can also buy comedy tickets right now for tours involving the likes of Jimmy Carr, Eddie Izzard, Bill Bailey, John Cleese and Paddy's old partner in crime, Peter Kay.

Whether or not the horses of the UK approve, it seems Paddy McGuinness is set for a successful tour later this year. If you're stuck out in the countryside you might need to jump on your horse and take a ride into town to catch it!
