2022 Edinburgh Fringe
Paul Sinha: One Sinha Lifetime
You can always trust Paul Sinha to deliver a great show but this one is possibly his best to date. Bafflingly unable to secure a book deal, he instead presents his autobiography here through anecdotes and songs, the occasional caustic jibe and lots of big laughs.
In January 2020, Paul embarked on a national tour, his most ambitious show combining stand-up, music, hula-hooping and tales of romantic validation and neurological degeneration. As it turned out 2020 proved to be the wrong year to embark on a national tour. For everyone. Undeterred, Paul returns, with the difficult second post-diagnosis album. Expect jokes and surprises. Paul has a story to tell. And an absolute banger of a title. 'The stories are told with a constant light-touch wit... Parkinson's hasn't robbed him of his ability to do stand-up, it's enhanced it' **** (Chortle.co.uk).
