347 - Paul Sinha Returns

One of the first guests on ComCom about 8 years ago, Paul Sinha has had a rollercoaster of a life in the interim.  From fringe comedian to celebrity quizzer as “The Sinnerman” on The Chase (ITV), to a memorable appearance on Taskmaster (Dave) which came just as he was diagnosing himself with Parkinson’s disease, we catch up on how his comedy has metamorphosed from political agitation to personal story-telling.We cover how the mainstream-ification of his audiences changed his comedy; how he lost a friend to Covid-19 but managed to survive a devastating dose himself; what expectations he has of his life from now on; and why he’s a better comedian now than he’s ever been…30 minutes of extra content, available exclusively to members of the Insiders Club, includes Paul on how he refuses to think about mortality, his new style of joke-writing on Twitter, and the inside story on his performance on Taskmaster…Go to www.comedianscomedian.com/insiders for this and much much more.Connect with Paul here:@PaulSinhawww.paulsinha.comEverything Stu's up to:"Child Labour" parenting podcast with Stuart Goldsmith & Sindhu Veewww.childlabourpod.comMondays 9pm BST - "The Infinite Sofa" chat showTop celebrity talent (previous guests include Dara O'Briain, Sarah Millican and Russell Howard) join Stu and 12 members of the public, in an increasingly cult-like live online performance experiment.www.infinitesofa.comTuesdays 8pm BST - "Chops" Online comedy clubwww.chopscomedy.comwww.twitch.tv/stugoldsmithWednesdays 8pm BST - "ThinkTank"A new even-more-experimental exercise in creativity, community, and throwing together a virtual bank heist under pressure.New ideas and new jeopardy every week!www.twitch.tv/stugoldsmith Hosted on Acast.
