PAUL Sinha is adding an extra date to his self-explanatory Paul Sinha Is A Stand-Up Comedian tour. He will appear at the Hyena Lounge Comedy Club in The Basement at City Screen, York, on Sunday, January 26.

You may have seen him as The Sinnerman, catching unlucky contestants on ITV’s tea-time quiz The Chase, or heard him on BBC Radio 4’s Paul Sinha’s Citizenship Test and The News Quiz or maybe on BBC Five Live’s Fighting Talk.

Over the past 15 years, anyone who has been to Norfolk A&E department or visited a London doctor’s surgery may have been treated by qualified GP Sinna.

“I’m many, many things,” says Paul. “I’m a brother, a doctor, a Gemini, a sports fanatic, a godparent, a proud quiz geek and, according to Jim Davidson, ‘an Indian poof’, but first and foremost I’m a stand-up comedian.”

• Tickets for his 8pm show can be booked online at hyenalounge.com or on 0871 902 5726.
