Paddy Young: Will Sir Be Laughing Alone? review – morose misadventures of a luckless bachelor
['Brian Logan']
The Guardian
A recent star of Saturday Night Live UK, Paddy Young is enjoying a moment of life-changing fulfilment and success.
But “I’ve brought the worst plus-one to the party,” he says – by which he means himself.
If ever the truism that money can’t buy you happiness needed demonstration, look no further than Young’s new show, Will Sir Be Laughing Alone?
He’s bothered not that his flatmate is having sex too noisily, but that it’s not audible enough (“Let me in!”).
That loserdom is offset too by Young’s standup skills, as evidenced tonight by some very adroit crowd-work, and by the kind of small-screen success that leads to audience members showing up in DIY Paddy Young T-shirts.
