Paddy Lennox and Matt Foster bring an international comedy bill to Bournemouth
Irish comedy favourite Paddy Lennox and Canadian stand-up star Matt Foster are heading to Bournemouth for a Laugh Out Loud Comedy Club show at the Bournemouth Pavilion. The Friday night bill also features Johnny Wardlow and comedy songwriter Alex Camp, promising a lively mix of storytelling, character and musical comedy.
Key takeaways
This is a professional, multi-act comedy night with an accessible live-club feel—the same kind of welcoming, high-value entertainment audiences seek at Comedy in Your Eye’s intimate weekly shows in Camden.
The show takes place at Bournemouth Pavilion on Friday, September 18.
Paddy Lennox and Matt Foster headline the bill.
Johnny Wardlow and Alex Camp complete the line-up, with Alex Camp hosting as MC.
Doors open at 7.30pm and the performance begins at 8pm.
Tickets cost £23.25 in advance or £25 on the door.
International experience on the bill
Paddy Lennox is known for an instantly likeable Irish style and has built an international career across live comedy and television. His credits include appearances in Holby City and Doctors, alongside work for BBC Radio 4.
Matt Foster brings a different route into stand-up. The UK-based Canadian began his career as a drummer before moving into comedy, quickly joining Yuk Yuk’s Comedy, Canada’s largest comedy club chain. He now performs for audiences internationally.
That combination should appeal to comedy fans who enjoy discovering seasoned performers in a relaxed setting—an approach that also sits at the heart of Comedy in Your Eye, where professional acts perform in a friendly Camden pub rather than a formal, impersonal theatre environment.
Supporting acts add variety
Johnny Wardlow is recognised for his distinctive voice and sensational stories. His experience includes performances on both the UK and New York comedy circuits, including the Comic Strip Live. He has also appeared on BBC New Comedy Awards programmes and been heard on BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio 4.
Alex Camp is known for comedy songs and was nominated for Best Variety Show at the 2024 Leicester Comedy Festival. As MC, Camp will help connect the evening’s different styles while keeping the show moving between acts.
What to expect on the night
With stand-up, storytelling and musical comedy in one bill, the event offers plenty of variety without relying on a single headliner. It has the same discovery-led appeal as Comedy in Your Eye’s top-secret line-up model: a chance to see experienced comedians in a positive, inclusive atmosphere and enjoy a full evening of live entertainment.
The show starts at 8pm, with doors opening half an hour earlier at 7.30pm. Advance tickets are £23.25, rising to £25 on the door, making early booking the better-value option for those planning their night in advance.
