The boundary-pushing comedian, known for his observational humor, sharp wit, deadpan delivery, clever punchlines and a bold, confrontational edge, draws on his South Asian background and British upbringing to deliver a fresh perspective on identity and modern life.
He is in the top tier of British-Indian comedians in terms of both popularity and impact after he shot to fame on the UK comedy scene through appearances on TV shows like Live at the Apollo, where he was the first British-Asian comedian to host.
He’s also popular on social media, where he shares a mix of funny takes, personal insights, and interactions with fans.
The multi-award-winning stand-up comedian, actor and writer is now set to cement his reputation on his Englandia UK tour next year.His career is marked by numerous accolades and groundbreaking achievements.
In a remarkable feat, Paul completed his Family-Friendly Comedian nationwide UK tour from 2021 to 2023, which saw three extensions due to overwhelming demand. This tour garnered widespread praise, culminating in a sold-out run at the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2023, where it earned rave reviews and ratings ranging from 4 to 5 stars.
It follows Live Innit, a record-breaking tour that saw him perform five nights at the Hammersmith Apollo and become the first British-Asian stand-up to sell out London's Wembley Arena. Paul’s talent has earned him prestigious awards, including Best Live Event at the ITV Asian Media Awards, Comedian of the Year at the Asian Voice Awards, and the esteemed Eastern Eye Comedian of the Year award.
Described by The Eastern Eye as “the greatest British Asian comedian of all time,” his impact on the comedy scene is undeniable.Beyond stand-up, Paul shines as an actor and has starred in the international series Devils as well as countless TV shows such as Stand Up for the Week, Live at the Apollo and the multi-award nominated show Taskmaster.
Paul also hosts his own podcast The Paul Chowdhry PudCast, interviewing celebrities on life’s turning points. Guests have included Russell Howard, London Hughes and Stewart Lee.
His influence extends online and he maintains a vibrant social media presence with his videos amassing millions of views.
With his boundless talent and undeniable charisma, Paul continues to captivate audiences globally, leaving an indelible mark on the world of comedy.
He said of the tour: “After more than a quarter of a century and half my life on comedy stages, it's time to embark on my biggest tour ever. I hope to see you there - the audiences who made this dream possible. If not, I'll be in massive debt and doing benefit gigs for the foreseeable future.”
