E198: Paddy Raff: The Man Behind the Laughs
Show notes
Paddy Raff is one of Northern Ireland’s best known comedians, a stand-up performer and comedy writer who went from making funny videos for family and friends to selling out Belfast’s SSE Arena.
Paddy talks about growing up in West Belfast, the early social media videos that unexpectedly went viral and how quickly his stand-up career took off. He opens up about family life, his sister Sarah and how growing up with a sibling with special needs shaped his perspective on life and how he treats people.
He also talks about creativity and ADHD, the impact of AI on comedy and human connection, knowing your worth personally and professionally, learning when to say no to work and why family will always come before taking every opportunity.
Of course, there are plenty of laughs, including a brilliant story involving a Dunnes Stores display bed that has to be heard.
A funny, honest conversation about the person behind Paddy Raff, the career he has built and what really matters to him.
