More about the line up
Paul Sinha
A trained medical doctor who is perhaps best known as the Sinnerman on the hugely popular ITV quiz show 'The Chase', Paul has been a successful comedian for a number of years. As a club comedian, he has played every major comedy club in the UK, performed in eighteen other countries across the globe, and been three times nominated for Best Club Comedian at the Chortle Awards, winning in 2014.
Paul has taken eight solo shows to the Edinburgh Fringe, his 2006 show Saint Or Sinha being nominated for whatever the Perrier award was called back then.
His 2017 show Shout Out To My Ex had a sellout run and toured nationally, with 2018’s The Two Ages Of Man following suit. On Radio 4, Paul has appeared several times on venerable favourites Just A Minute, The Now Show, and The News Quiz; and has carved out a career in factual comedy — making programmes on cricket, the 2012 Olympics, the Magna Carta, and UK citizenship; and three series of the Rose d’Or-winning Paul Sinha’s History Revision. Alongside Marcus Berkmann, he also plays for the South of England on the long-running Round Britain Quiz. On Radio 5 Live, he is a regular (and twice series champion) on the “feisty” sports panel show Fighting Talk.
Josephine Lacey
Josephine Lacey first came onto the London comedy circuit in October 2008. Drawing on her Jamaican Irish heritage and life experience she delivers her material with an honest humour and a natural raw energy with the guile and wisdom of someone that has been there, done it and bought the t-shirt, delivering her material with an effortless charm and huge smile that leaves audiences loving her and wanting more.
2024 saw Josephine selling out her debut solo show ‘Autism Mama’ at the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and at the fabulous Soho Theatre, London, gaining rave 5 STAR reviews at both venues.
She regularly performs ‘opening’ and ‘headline’ spots all around London, England, Ireland, and Europe. She is a sort after MC and is one of the resident MC's at The Top Secret Comedy Club in Covent Garden, where audiences and comedians alike are safe in her hands!
‘A comedy bombshell, just light the blue touch-paper and watch the mirth erupt’ (BBC).
