Paddy McGuinness Tour Threatens To Spark Mass Horse Suicides
Bolton comedian Paddy McGuinness has found himself at the receiving end of a joke for a change, with fellow comedian Stewart Lee suggesting his forthcoming tour could spark mass suicides in the UK - amongst horses!
In a recent episode of Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle on the BBC, Paddy was on the receiving end of a joke in which Stewart Lee suggested that the arrival of his tour in more remote UK towns and villages would be enough to prompt depressed horses to take their own lives.
At the end of the episode, Lee was depicted as a typical Londoner riding into the countryside on his motorbike in full leathers, past a poster advertising the Paddy McGuinness tour and a dead horse lying beneath it.
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!
However, Stewart's insinuation that Paddy is a mainstay of village halls and small-town gigs seems wide of the mark when you take a closer look at the venues he will be hitting on his Saturday Night Live Tour later this year.
The venues listed on the tour include Manchester's MEN Arena, the NIA Academy in Birmingham and the Liverpool Echo arena, and Mr McGuinness is shifting comedy tickets in large numbers according to figures from Aloud.com.
Tours of other comedians, such as Bill Bailey, Peter Kay, Jimmy Carr and John Cleese, are making 2011 a bumper year for sales of comedy tickets. Stewart Lee likes to take a playful dig at his fellow comedians from time to time but the success of acts like Paddy McGuinness are hard to deny when the ticket sales speak for themselves.
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!
