Paul Smith Brings 'Happy' to Derby

Paul Smith brings his stand-up show Happy to Derby on 30 October 2026, as part of a wider touring run of live dates. He is the comedian associated with Hot Water Comedy Club in Liverpool, known for building material from crowd work and audience interaction as much as from prepared sets, rather than the Newcastle musician of the same name who fronts Maximo Park. Billed simply under the show's title, Happy points to a full evening of stand-up rather than a short opening slot or a one-off guest appearance. Audiences coming along should expect a stand-up comedy night built around Smith's own material and style rather than anything musical.
