‘Pablo Live’ – Comedian Paul Smith Brings Debut Cinema Event to Birmingham – King of Crowd Work and One of the UK’s Most In-Demand Stand-Ups

CinemaLive Presents an Exclusive Comedy Cinema Event 

In Over 350 Cinemas Nationwide from Friday 17th April 

Book from 10am tomorrow (4th March) at paulsmithincinemas.com

One of the UK’s most in-demand stand-ups and viral sensation, Paul Smith, is bringing his hit show Paul Smith: Pablo Live to cinemas nationwide this year. From CinemaLive, this is the first time ever his stand-up has been released on the big screen.

Filmed in front of a sold-out crowd at Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre, Pablo Live captures Smith exactly as audiences know him: sharp, fearless and completely in control of the room.

Over the past few years, Smith has built a huge and fiercely loyal fanbase online, racking up millions of followers and views – turning viral clips into sold-out arena dates – powered as much by word of mouth as by the share button. Rather than taking the traditional TV panel-show route, his rise has come directly from the live circuit and from audiences who can’t get enough of his crowd work. That connection has seen him grow from club comic to arena headliner, with the Pablo Live tour taking him to packed-out venues across the UK, Ireland and beyond – challenging the box office records of some of the UK’s most established comedians

For cinema audiences, this is a chance to experience the full Paul Smith show for the first time. Expect the audience roasting he’s famous for, lightning-fast comebacks and big, relatable stories from his everyday life – from spending money in the most irresponsible way possible, to arguing why boys are better than girls, to raising kids without exactly setting the best example.

Shot live and unfiltered in Dublin, the special captures the chaos, the quick-fire exchanges and the proper laugh-out-loud moments that have made his live shows such a phenomenon – now brought to the big screen.

Running time: 85 minutes
