On this episode of The Wildlings Podcast, host and South African comedian Roleen Conn goes untamed with one of Northern Ireland's biggest comedy exports; the multi award-winning Paddy Raff.

From selling out the SSE Arena to navigating the unpredictable world of stand-up touring, Paddy is as honest and hilarious off stage as he is on it. In this episode, Roleen and Paddy cover everything from childhood chaos to life on the road and it does not disappoint.

In this episode:

🎲 The 6/7 Toy: Paddy hints at something big on the horizon. Could a new venture be incoming? You heard it here first.

🧠 ADHD & Education: Paddy opens up about his struggles with ADHD in the school system, what it felt like to be misunderstood and the creative ways he wriggled out of showing up altogether.

📺 Sick Days & Daytime TV: What happens when you fake a sick day and daytime television decides to give you an unexpected education that snowballs out of control; Paddy remembers it vividly.

🎤 Life on Tour: The reality of touring as a comedian: the highs, the cities that just don't catch the vibe and how you keep going when a room isn't with you.

🥁 The Art of the Pun: Paddy's love of wordplay doesn't stop at the stage door. He breaks down his approach to naming tours and why a well-landed pun is a thing of beauty.

Whether you're a longtime fan of Paddy's work or discovering him for the first time, this is one of those episodes that'll have you laughing out loud and nodding along in equal measure.
