What is Waffle about?
The new tour follows Yonks!, which McCausland brought to the Concert Hall for Brighton Dome Comedy Festival in 2025. The advance material for Waffle gives a flavour of his stand-up through the small pleasures of touring, including hotel breakfasts and a break from being woken by his family at 7am.
