Funny Way To Be Comedy – Paul Sinha: 2 Sinha Lifetime (16+)

Paul Sinha returned to the Edinburgh Fringe in 2025 after a dramatic 2023 that saw him booking a ticket to Edinburgh’s Royal Infirmary half-way through his run.

The autumn that followed became a flurry of tests, scans and finally the surgery which set him on the road to recovery. With no small debt to the NHS,  Paul celebrated his 30th anniversary in stand-up last year and despite his continued quiz successes, his Radio 4 series, and his decision to write a memoir, rather than a hastily patched together murder mystery, Paul is not ready to exit the stage just yet – he is delighted to be touring his latest Edinburgh Fringe show around the UK.

‘It seems wrong-headed to describe a much-loved household celebrity as ‘underrated’, but there’s a strong case for Sinha being exactly that. The contention being that he’s (arguably) celebrated for the wrong thing. He may entertain as a Chaser and impress as a quizzer, but he truly shines on stage. Sinha is an absolute worldie of a stand up and the fact he’s a bona fide polymath shouldn’t dilute that fact.’…Rolling Stone

★★★★★ ‘In short, it is clever. It is honest. It is very, very funny.’…Broadway Baby

★★★★★ ‘An upbeat, quick-witted, wide-ranging, gag heavy comedy show. Sharp and self-deprecating, every gag lands.’…On the Mic

★★★★★ ‘Banging one-liners and some pithy ditties on the keyboard. On this defiant evidence, the Sinhaman is far from gently going into that good night.’…Mail on Sunday

★★★★★ ‘Dry wit and sharp humour.’…West End Best Friend
