"It was expected to do well but it was a long tour that went extremely well sales wise night after night... every venue was rocking.
"Most venues had waiting lists of people who wanted to come but couldn't get in which is very rare in the industry at the moment."
They added: "Obviously the tour promoter did very well out of it so everyone their side is very keen for Paddy to replicate that again perhaps as soon as possible.
"There aren't many comedy acts that can sell venues as fast as that so when a hit comes along the industry is keen to pounce on it and get more shows booked in.

Love Island major twist as TWO dumped islanders return to cause chaos days before final
LOVE Island has revealed two original stars have returned to the villa as bombshells to cause chaos before the final - weeks after being dumped from the show. Irish stunner Megan and Spanish lad Blu have appeared in a teaser for tomorrow night's eipsode. 5 Two major Love Island stars are returning to the villa after being dumped earlier in the series 5 Megan has returned to Love Island - after taking swipes at Conor on social media 5 The original islanders are returning as bombshells Iain Stirling revealed the incredible comeback and The Sun understands the pair entered the villa tonight. Megan was voted least favourite girl after dumping Tommy for Conor, before being axed. Blu was dumped after being left single - and had to fight for his place opposite bombshell Shea. And this stunned viewer said "This feels illegal; if the public voted Megan out, why tf bring her back?????" The lads were told to decide between them who would go home, but when neither gave up their place, their co-stars made the decision for them. Megan said before heading back to Love Island: "I'm excited to go back in, I think I left quite abruptly and I'm going back in for some clarity. "It was an easy decision to make. When you can't speak to people for a couple of weeks and have to watch them on telly every night, you want some answers." Most read in Love Island Blu said: "There's a bit of open space now and people know the game a little bit more, so hopefully the couple of girls I've got my eyes on are willing to explore. "I told you all from the get go I'm not leaving and I'm not f***ing leaving!" Axed Love Island star Megan takes swipe at Conor for 'lipsing every girl' after telling her to 'wait for him' Baffled fans raced to X after seeing Megan slow-mo walk back into the villa for a second time. One shared: "What is going ON!!! Megan was just in Mykonos… I can't wait to see this play out. This is BIGGGG" Another said: "Ok so there's bringing Megan to break up Conor and Shakira unnecessarily.. and they're bringing back Blu because.. why?" The announcement came shortly Islanders were ordered to line up in their couples as Maya announced the results of the latest public vote for their favourite boy and girl. Maya revealed the bottom three girls were Billykiss, Emma, and Angel and the bottom three boys were Boris, Conor, and Harry. With the fewest votes, Emma and Boris were dumped from the island, ending Casa Amor's most talked-about comeback and Love Island's biggest love triangle. Both Emma and Boris had entered the villa as Casa Amor bombshells.

Oleksandr Usyk is one of boxing's greats – but he'll never be able to enjoy success due to horrors of Ukraine war
OLEKSANDR USYK'S fame and fortune is a 'curse' while his friends and countrymen are lying dead in trenches and bomb sites. 5 Derek Chisora has claimed Oleksandr Usyk can't enjoy his success and money Credit: The Sun 5 Usyk became undisputed heavyweight champion again last weekend Credit: PA 5 Usyk beat Daniel Dubois with a fifth round knockout Credit: EPA The heavyweight heroes meet at a Ukrainian sauna when the Brit-basher visits London, and they speak regularly on the phone, when the 41-year-Londoner can hear missiles and rockets raging over his roof. Del Boy was ringside to watch Usyk's latest four-belt crowning over But he told our Split Decision YouTube show that all the belts and cash in the world are wasted on the devout 38-year-old, while Vladimir Putin lays siege to his home and slaughters his nation. Chisora explained: 'He has made so much money but he can't enjoy it because his country is at war. READ MORE IN BOXING 'He can't go around driving a Lamborghini while his friends are having their houses destroyed and they are dying. He is cursed. 'He can't go on holiday in St Tropez and sunbathe and drink tequila because his friends are in the trenches. 'He can't enjoy his money. He can't because he is all Ukraine has right now." Since the 2022 invasion, Usyk has scythed through British boxing's best big men. Most read in Boxing 5 Usyk is a proud Ukrainian Credit: Getty CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS After Chisora was outpointed, the gap-toothed southpaw did almost faultless doubles over Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury and now 27-year-old Dubois. And the Englishman reckons the sickening onslaught his people are facing is inspiring him in a way that transcends sport. Oleksandr Usyk has press conference in stitches as he NAMES the left hook that floored Daniel Dubois at Wembley He said: 'The population is going down because so many people, young men, are dying. 'It's so difficult for him but it's also why he is so dedicated, he is doing it for his whole nation. 'If it's your destiny then it's your destiny. If God says it's your path then nothing will take you away from it.' Arguments about cross-generation fantasy fights will rage on in pubs and online forums. But Chisora tries to keep it short and sweet. He added: 'Usyk is 100 per cent a top-10 heavyweight and he is in my top-five. 'European amateur champion, Olympic gold medalist, undisputed cruiserweight world champion and two-time undisputed heavyweight champion. 'What more else can he do? He has whooped us all. He has taken the p***!' 5
