Paul Sinha’s Real British Citizenship Test

Paul Sinha is best known for his tenure as a Chaser on the ITV series The Chase. Impressing viewers and contestants with his detailed general knowledge, Paul is known as The Sinnerman and The Smiling Assassin as a popular television personality. Outside of TV, Paul is also a regular stand-up comedian at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and was awarded the Rose d-Or for his radio comedy. Throughout his television and comedy career, Paul has been open about his sexuality and often speaks to the media to promote acceptance of the LGBT community.

Currently a Chaser on The Chase, Paul has built his humorous yet prolific reputation as a quiz master. Paul has also made appearances on shows such as Mastermind, University Challenge: The Professionals and competed at the 2018 World Quizzing Championships. During his time on The Chase, Paul has been open about his sexuality and has often used his sexuality to form material as a comedian. Praised for being open about his identity, Paul is an inspirational figure for others in the LGBT community. At events, he often reflects on his experience of coming out and the importance of LGBT representation in mainstream media.

Before joining the world of television, Paul trained as a general practitioner doctor at St George’s Medical School. He had his first taste for stand up comedy whilst studying, performing at the St George’s Annual Revue. He then began regularly performing stand-up comedy alongside his roles as a doctor and has since performed at several Edinburgh Fringe Festivals with award-winning material. Paul has also presented his own radio shows including Paul Sinha’s Quiz Culture, The Sinha Games and Paul Sinha’s History Revision and the TV show Paul Sinha’s TV Showdown.

Having been so open about his sexuality, Paul is a great addition to events as an LGBT speaker. He raised awareness of the community by revealing his sexuality on television, so can encourage inclusion and promote acceptance for the LGBT community. The author of Paul Sinha’s Real British Citizenship Test, he combines his experience as a gay Anglo-Bengali GP turned comedian to resonate with audiences of all backgrounds and cultures.
