About
After selling out theatres all over Australia and New Zealand on his 2025 tour, acclaimed comedian Paul Smith is set to return in early 2027 for a massive run of Antipodean arena shows with his brand-new tour, HAPPY.
Following sold-out runs and viral success across the globe, HAPPY takes Paul’s trademark crowd work, razor-sharp observations, and laugh-out-loud true stories to an entirely new level. This is stand-up at full throttle: fast, fearless, and relentlessly funny. Presented by Live Nation, the Australian leg of the tour commences in Perth on Wednesday 3 February, before heading to Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane and concluding in Sydney on Friday 12 February at Qudos Bank Arena. It then heads to New Zealand, kicking off at Wellington’s Michael Fowler Centre on Monday 15 February, then on to Christchurch Town Hall on Friday 19 February, and finishing in style at Auckland’s Spark Arena on Saturday 20 February.
A master of audience interaction, get ready to experience jaw-aching, laugh out loud comedy that only Smith can deliver! Packed with outrageous audience interaction and stories pulled straight from real life, HAPPY is a show about finding joy in the chaos, laughter in the everyday, and comedy in absolutely everything. Expect jaw-aching laughs from the first minute to the last.
This is Paul Smith’s biggest tour ever, spanning the UK, Ireland, Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand and tickets will go fast. If you like your comedy raw, real, and uncontrollably funny… HAPPY is the show you don’t want to miss!
