Who Paddy Young is

Paddy Young is a British stand-up comedian from Scarborough who went from Manchester open mics to the cast of Saturday Night Live UK. His first Edinburgh Fringe show, Ay Up It's Stand Up with Adam Flood, came in 2021; two years later his solo hour earned a Best Newcomer nomination at the Fringe and won the Chortle Award for Best Newcomer.

His 2024 debut tour, Hungry, Horny, Scared, was filmed as a television special, and his 2025 Edinburgh showcase A Night with the Stars lined up comics from Sam Campbell to Alison Spittle. In 2026 he joined the first series of Saturday Night Live UK, co-anchoring Weekend Update with Ania Magliano. He hosts the advice podcast Paddy Will Help and the live auction show Floggers with Sam Campbell, and has acted in Timewasters and Everyone Else Burns.
