The UK tour - called Paddy McGuinness: Work In Progress Warm Up Shows - will kick off in September in Preston with a live show at BBC Radio 2 In The Park.
The tour will see him perform 40 dates across the UK in 2024 and 2025, and includes a show at the prestigious London Palladium.
About his eagerly-anticipated stand-up comedy tour, Paddy said thrilled: 'It's been eight years since my last tour and there's lots of things to laugh about!
'I'm looking forward to getting back in front of a live audience, along with running the gauntlet of cancel culture, click bait and fake news!'
Paddy and former beauty queen Christine, 36, still live together two years after their split for the sake of their three children, 10-year-old twins Leo and Penelope, and Felicity, seven.
Yet, Paddy proved the pair had quite an amicable split and previously insisted he would support Christine if she was to meet someone else.
Christine was recently linked to television presenter and footballer Chelcee Grimes, 31, after the pair shared a kiss but Christine is understood to be single.

However, if she was to fall for someone, TV star Paddy claimed he would be supportive of her new relationship.
He told the Mirror: 'If Christine met someone else, I’d be supportive. If someone didn’t know our situation and came to our house and they spent the day with us, they would not have a clue (we were not together).
'We get on well, we live together and co-parent. We get the lawyers back and forth but that’s separate - that’s a different thing.
'I tried a couple of dates last year – After 12 months of adjusting to life on my own I felt I should give it a try rather than really wanting to.
'For now I’m happy being single. For now, we’re happy with how things are, living together and helping each other balance work and kids.'
On Friday, Paddy looked in good sprits as he was seen stepping out for the first time since it was revealed Christine has been enjoying a cosy getaway with 'tomboy' musician Roxxxan.
He sported a casual look in a white T-shirt and beige trunks, rocking black shades.
Christine is currently soaking the sun with Roxxxan, after they first fuelled romance rumours with a cosy footsie snap.
She captioned the video montage with: 'To ME you are perfect. IBIZA you own a piece of my heart ❤️'
