Talk to us about Paul Sinha

In Detail

An experienced consultant neurologist calmly informed Paul that he had Parkinson’s disease. It was a devastating dénouement to a medical odyssey that began with a sudden-onset frozen right shoulder. In the time since his Parkinson’s started, he has been ludicrously busy; and Paul fully intends to keep chasing, writing and performing comedy, quizzing, and keep being hopeless at "tasks". Paul has taken eight solo shows to the Edinburgh Fringe. On Radio 4, Paul has appeared several times on venerable favourites Just A Minute, The Now Show, and The News Quiz; and has carved out a career in factual comedy, making programmes on cricket. On Radio 5 Live, he is a regular on the "feisty" sports panel show Fighting Talk.

What he offers you

Paul’s witty and intelligent brand of comedy is much in demand around the world on stage, radio and television. Paul draws inspiration from life’s lunacies and shows why he has become one of the most critically celebrated Edinburgh Festival comedians of recent years.
