Paul McCaffrey is one of the most exciting new acts on the UK circuit. Over the past year he has been scooping up awards, accolades and critical acclaim.  His assured delivery and beautifully observed material lead to bizarre flights into silliness and darkly gleeful rants. 


Paul is also an accomplished actor appearing in film, music videos and theatre.

Paul is in great demand with some of the biggest and best clubs and promoters in the UK working for  The Comedy Café, Off The Kerb,  CKP, Mirth Control and Komedia to name but a few.  In 2009 he performed alongside Seann Walsh in ‘Get On With It’ at the Edinburgh Fringe.

 

He is currently on tour with Lucy Porter, supporting her in her latest show 'Fool's Gold'.
