“...simply a scream.” The Telegraph
"beautifully played and surprisingly moving" The Stage.
**** “comedy the way it should be: a laugh-a-minute which leaves the audience wishing the show was just a little bit longer ... gentle Irish lilt belies a mischievous sense of humour.” Fest
**** Excellent stand-up, Paddy Lennox, is laid-back and charismatic. Vastly entertaining. This show proves that the AAA stand-up comedians have great things ahead of them. Three Weeks.
**** Extremely funny material. I’m sure this guy has a great future. one4review.com
Irish comedian and actor Paddy Lennox first burst on to stage as a Stand-Up in 2001 only to be interrupted with a couple of comedies at the Shakespeare Globe Theatre and filming in far off lands, before returning to his new found passion. An engaging and instantly likeable comic, Paddy combines topical material with observational routines.
In 2010, he was working the corporate scene including gigs for the BBC, ITV, Investec and Jysk, and he’s also featured on The Blame Game, (BBC) Sky Poker and Talksport Radio. Music Festivals and TV warm-up man has been huge fun for him and he has supported many touring comics such as Rhod Gilbert, Lucy Porter and Micky Flanagan.
Whilst playing all the usual big clubs, Paddy likes to gig the smaller ones too. Otherwise life gets too predictable.
As an actor Paddy has already clocked up a pretty impressive list of theatre, film and TV credits with International Artistes as his acting agent. As an accomplished comic actor he has had flattering reviews in many Ray Cooney farces. "beautifully played and surprisingly moving" The Stage.
He's also an excellent voice-over artist and has voiced and appeared in numerous commercials.
When not gigging all over the UK, Paddy tries to play the piano to help him unwind.
