Last October, it was then revealed that Paddy, 51, would keep the family's £2.5million mansion after finalising his divorce with ex Christine, 37.
Christine then revealed last month that she was paying off her £300,000 divorce from Paddy.
And now, after their costly split and subsequent divorce, Paddy is on the cusp of a money-spinning venture.
A source told The Sun: "It's no secret that Paddy's comedy tour, over the past year, has been a huge success.
"It was expected to do well but it was a long tour that went extremely well sales wise night after night... every venue was rocking.
"Most venues had waiting lists of people who wanted to come but couldn't get in which is very rare in the industry at the moment."
They added: "Obviously the tour promoter did very well out of it so everyone their side is very keen for Paddy to replicate that again perhaps as soon as possible.
"There aren't many comedy acts that can sell venues as fast as that so when a hit comes along the industry is keen to pounce on it and get more shows booked in.
"Importantly, Paddy also had a blast writing and performing the show although whatever tour comes in the future, as with the last one, it needs to work around his schedule with his kids which is why he drove straight home after a lot of the gigs.
"Everyone is hoping he'll sign up again and rival tour promoters are banging down his door to try and get involved.

"He's got a few offers on the table so hopefully a case of finding the time in his schedule to make it work around his home and work life."
Paddy and Christine share three children together from their marriage.
They welcomed twins Leo and Penelope, and daughter Felicity.
Last year it was revealed that Paddy would remain the owner of the former couple's mansion.

Sources close to the couple told the Mail that the 7-bedroom family home in Cheshire, with a gym and swimming pool, is TV star Paddy's pride and joy.
He reportedly argued he'd be unable to afford anything similar, after divorcing his wife of 11 years.
It's claimed that Christine, however, didn't want to move ten-year-old twins Penelope and Leo, or seven-year-old daughter Felicity - all of who have been diagnosed with autism- from the house they've grown up in.
A source told the publication: "Paddy is very much the king of his castle when it comes to their house. There was no way he was going to move into a smaller property while she stayed in their big house.
"It means that they both still own the house and Paddy will have access to it at any time.
They continued: "Paddy also knew that Christine would not want to cause their children upset by putting the house up for sale as they need routine and familiar surroundings because of their autism.
"Christine does have the option to force the sale of the house but she wanted to put her children's needs first."

Zoe Ball discusses 'problem' with sleeping arrangements after being seen with mystery man
BBC Radio 2 presenter Zoe Ball shared her thoughts on the matter, just weeks after she was spotted holding hands with a mystery man at Glastonbury Festival Zoe Ball has given her take on whether sleeping in separate bedrooms could spark the end of a relationship. Speaking with Jo Whiley on their Dig It podcast, the duo addressed a listener seeking their opinion on the topic. The listener, Emma, told the pair she was "exhausted" because her husband's sleeping habits, such as snoring, disrupts her sleep every night. Due to this, Emma said she's contemplating moving to the guest bedroom, but confessed: "But part of me worries if we end up sharing a bed, is that the beginning of the end?". Offering her guidance, Zoe, 54, said: "Emma I feel for you, in our household it's probably the other way round. I'm the one who gets up to pee a lot and I'm the one who snores. "I've had complaints from the kids in separate rooms who can hear my snoring. Beginning of the end, separate bedrooms?". Jo went on to confess that she doesn't share a bed with her long-term husband, but stressed it hasn't damaged her marriage. "So yeah separate bedrooms all the way," she declared. Zoe added: "I have been known to occasional get up and go and sleep somewhere else if it's Nel [Nelly, her daughter] or you know, to let someone have a restful night if I'm restless or to get a restful night if someone else is restless, you know with colds and flus and bugs and things like that. "And I guess there is that thing where you get that nice little bit of sneaking back in in the morning, but yeah this is the problem, the sleeping habits thing is tough isn't it?". Zoe added that her sleep is often disrupted by listening to episodes of Newscast or Desert Island Discs, adding of a particular night: "I didn't go to sleep at all, it was a complete disaster." The BBC Radio 2 presenter shared her thoughts after being spotted hand-in-hand with a man at Glastonbury Festival, back in June. An onlooker who saw the pair said they "seemed blissfully happy and were strolling along holding hands". "She was really smiling at him as they walked along and he was very protective of Zoe and put his hand across her back," they further told The Sun. "People were doing double takes at her bloke though because he looks a lot like Fatboy. It's so great to see Zoe smiling again." Zoe was previously married to Norman Cook, better known as Fatboy Slim, with whom she shares two children Woody, 20, and Nelly, 14. Following their separation, she moved on with Billy Yates, who tragically took his own life in 2017 aged 40. She later dated Michael Reed, but their relationship ended after six years due to reportedly "growing apart".
