It is fair to say that I have seen Paul Sinha quite a number of times over the last decade and I thought I knew what to expect, that it would be a delightfully written, impeccably delivered and extremely clever not to mention laugh out loud funny. And of course, it was all of the above, but why was there a keyboard on stage too? Sinha not content to rest on his laurels now he also writes and performs hilarious songs too!

He has decided that the time is right to write his autobiography, but someone, could be one of his mates, has stolen his title, we are getting the highlights and there are plenty to choose from.

It was his families relocation from Calcutta to Luton his Dr father and nurse mother soon found that they had a clever kid on their hands and so the story continues, first quiz, Paris trip, school, university, becoming a doctor at his fathers insistence, ventures into comedy, gambling addiction, nationally ranked quizzer, his sexuality, relationship and of course what nationally he is probably best known for being on teatime show The Chase as the white suited Sinner Man.

Paul was in 2019 diagnosed with Parkinson’s, which in itself is not a terminal disease, contrary to a certain tabloids belief and it has certainly not detracted from his comedy talents as the sell out crowd I was part of will testify to.
