Paul Sinha made his name as Chaser, Sinnerman on ITV's hit quiz show, The Chase, where his quick wit and intelligence is highly popular with audiences. It is on the comedy circuit though that Paul comes into his own. Having played across the world and in every major UK comedy club, he was awarded the Best Club Comedian prize at the prestigious Chortle Awards in 2014. One of the top live comedians in the UK today, Paul Sinha is highly in demand for corporate events too. Whether hosting or giving an after dinner stand up performance, Paul has racked up clientele that includes O2, Credit Suisse, the ECB, Legal & General, and Citigroup, as well as presented at awards ceremonies that include the Digital Media Awards, the Value in Healthcare Awards and Retail Week.
"We would like to say a big thank you for providing Paul. He was very funny and went down really well with the audience. Certainly one of the best."
Paul's love of stand up grew from his years as a junior doctor when he lit up the comedy circuit with his pun-heavy comedic material focussing largely on sexuality and ethnicity. By 1999 he was third in the Hackney Empire New Act of the Year. After graduating medical school, he continued juggling surgeries with performances up until the mid-2000s when he became a tour-de-force on the comedy circuit. The following years would see him appear prominently at the Edinburgh Fringe with no fewer than nine stand up shows, including the sellout show, Shout Out To My Ex which brought a national tour in 2017.
His career in factual comedy, presenting and quizzing would also turn Paul into a household name. He has featured prominently on BBC Radio 4, on shows that include The News Quiz, The Now Show, Just a Minute and Shappi Talk, as well as on sports programmes on Radio 5 Live and talkSPORT, and political broadcasts such as PM. In many ways, Paul is a top-class all-rounder and that is showcased in his quizzing ability displayed on ITV's The Chase from 2011 onwards, where he has earned nicknames from the show's hosts which include, The Sinnerman, Sarcasm in a Suit and The Smiling Assassin.
He has also shown his nous on University Challenge: The Professionals, Are You an Egghead?, Mastermind and Brain of Britain, the latter two saw him finish fourth and third respectively. He also became the British Quizzing Champion in 2019. Perfect to host a quiz, award ceremony or perform his outstanding stand up routine, Paul Sinha provides a masterclass in all fields.

Official Feedback from In-Person & Virtual Events
Feedback from In-Person Events:
"Paul was great and really got the crowd engaged and lifted the mood as soon as he went on stage, we’ve had amazing feedback from our employees. We were running a bit late on the day, but Paul was really accommodating, so it was greatly appreciated." - David, Executive Assistant, Beiersdorf
"Paul was an absolute joy to work with. He came to the hotel and myself and my CEO, Alan Banks, met with him and showed him around the venue and also the room we had booked for him. He was on time for the drinks reception and was exceptional with our guests, posing for selfies and chatting away. When we sat down for dinner Paul went to the green room for a while, but was back in time to be on stage for his guest speaker slot. To say he went down a storm would be an understatement, he was so open, honest & funny and everyone loved him. He was nothing like the shy unassuming person we’d had a call with and met earlier that night. Once he finished his guest speaker slot, he stayed on stage to present the awards and just made it his own, bringing his unique sense of humour making it such an amazing night. Finishing the night, he joined our guests in the networking area for a few hours, chatting with them and again getting some selfies in. We would highly recommend Paul for any event, he is warm, friendly, accommodating and extremely clever and funny. Thank you again and we look forward to working with you again this year." - Angela, Events Planner & Office Supervisor, Techworks

"Thank you so much to Paul for hosting our first ever pub quiz for media. He brought such fun and energy to the room. We had a lot of national titles in attendance and we received incredibly positive feedback. He went above and beyond, thinking of bonus questions on the spot and interacting with our guests during the breaks, which really made the evening extra memorable for all." - Freesat
"Paul delivered a brilliant session on his coming out story and all the challenges that presented for him. He was extremely engaging, personable and didn't extremely open to answering any questions the audience had. Everyone loved the session and felt they learnt so much from Paul's story!" - Tom
"I just wanted to say a massive thank you to Paul this morning. He gave such a wonderful talk and I have received tonnes of feedback from our colleagues to say how inspirational, witty and personable he was. We are so chuffed, so please pass on my gratitude. It was also lovely that he stayed to have some photos with colleagues and engaged in conversations with them after the talk had finished." - Ellie, Employee Engagement Administrator, Lidl
