One of the world’s most in-demand performers, Paul’s unique talents have seen him invited to perform for The Queen no less than 3 times on The Royal Variety Show. His international TV appearances include Montreal’s prestigious Just For Laughs and ITV’s Comedy Rocks. His critically acclaimed live shows have seen him sell out theatres across the globe.
With his hilarious ventriloquism, charm and impeccable comic timing, Paul’s live performances see him bring to life several very different characters including cheeky preadolescent Sam, belligerent OAP Albert and precocious Infant Baby, as seen in his winning performance on NBC’s America’s Got Talent 2015, which has had millions of views on YouTube.
