Supriya Kumar "Paul" Sinha (born 28 May 1970) is a British comedian, broadcaster and quiz player of Indian descent.
He is a "Chaser" on the ITV game show The Chase.
Sinha was educated at Dulwich College and St George's Hospital Medical School. While at medical school he developed a taste for the stage in St George's annual revue and refined his comedy as co-editor of the medical school newsletter, popularly known as the "Slag Mag". Sinha is a qualified general practitioner (not in source given). He is an atheist. (Not in source given)
Sinha began performing stand-up while working as a junior doctor in hospitals in London and King's Lynn. His early material drew on his sexuality and ethnicity, with heavy use of puns. In 1999, he came third in the final of the Hackney Empire New Act of the Year.
After several years of combining touring with his nascent medical career, Sinha's breakthrough came with his second solo Edinburgh show, Saint or Sinha?, which earned him an if.comeddie nomination in 2006.
Sinha has performed many times on BBC Radio 4, on shows including The News Quiz, The Now Show, Loose Ends, 28 Acts in 28 Minutes, Shappi Talk and Just a Minute. His interest in football (he is a Liverpool F.C. fan) and cricket has led to appearances on Radio 5 Live, most notably on Fighting Talk.
