Carl Donnelly: Another Round International Tour 2025

13th October 2025

... Comments

Double Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Carl Donnelly (as seen on shows such as Mock The Week, Alan Davies ‘As Yet Untitled’ and many more) returns with a brutally funny dive into a year like no other.

Last year Carl did a show about how much he’s enjoying life. Then life decided to challenge him on that. Another Round is a chance to join one of the UK’s finest comedians as he brings you up to speed on how he’s settling into being a married, middle-aged father with recurring stomach ulcers, a bald patch and an internet search history that now includes ‘anti-leakage boxer shorts.’

From his hospitalisation during last year’s Melbourne Comedy Festival to the harrowing experience of his young daughter battling a serious illness later in the year, Carl’s life has been anything but ordinary. But, with his signature blend of honesty and wit, Carl turns life’s darkest moments – including internally bleeding on a cruise ship and crying in a Turkish barbers - into comedy gold. So, raise a glass and join Carl for laughs, resilience and an unmissable hour of stand-up.
