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!
Lee put together a sketch in his BBC show, Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle, in which he depicted a remote countryside village, where Paddy McGuinness was being advertised to play, much to the disdain of a local horse.
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!
In reality, Paddy McGuinness' forthcoming Saturday Night Live Tour is not going to be arriving at village halls of small countryside retreats anytime soon. On the contrary, the Bolton-born comedian is preparing to take to the road on a tour of some of the UK's largest and most famous arena venues 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.
This year is proving a good one for comedy fans, who can also buy comedy tickets right now for tours involving the likes of Jimmy Carr, Eddie Izzard, Bill Bailey, John Cleese and Paddy's old partner in crime, Peter Kay.
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!
