Seen by many as the UK’s number one Asian comedian, with approximately three million YouTube hits, Paul Chowdhry has distinguished himself as one of the most talented and popular comedians to have recently emerged. Inspired by comedians such as the late Richard Prior, George Carlin and Sam Kinison, Paul is one of the few comics with the ability and diversity to effortlessly straddle the urban and main stand-up circuits as an international headline act – with his highly charged dry observational humour tapping into the multicultural diversity of contemporary Britain.

One of the most sought after comics on the UK comedy circuit, Paul has recently embarked on a twenty-five date sell-out UK tour, including two sell-out nights at London’s Indigo2.
