SOUTHAMPTON COMEDY NIGHTS
Paul Sinha
Paul Sinha (aka “The Sinnerman”) is a quiz legend turned powerhouse comedian. A former GP, he’s one of the six iconic Chasers on The Chase, winner of multiple BBC Radio 4 awards (including the Rose d’Or), and a standout stand-up on the Edinburgh Fringe circuit. Diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2019, he’s turned his battle into brave, witty, musical comedy—right now he's headlining Pauly Bengali at Fringe and beyond.

About Stand Up in the Basement
Stand Up in the Basement brings some of the best comedians from the UK comedy circuit to Southampton, with regular live comedy nights at Papillon in the city centre.
Our line-ups mix established names, award-winning comedians and some of the funniest acts making their way up through the circuit. You might recognise them from TV, podcasts, Edinburgh Fringe or comedy clubs around the country, or you might discover someone completely new.
The night started life in an actual basement, hence the name, but these days we’re above ground in a beautiful old vestry, while keeping the same idea: brilliant stand-up, a great atmosphere and a proper night out in Southampton.
