At the Hackney Empire next month

Paul Chowdhry is to record a new stand-up special

The Taskmaster and Live at the Apollo comedian will tape his set over two shows at the Hackney Empire on Saturday  June 15.

It is being filmed for a video-on-demand service, but his agents Avalon refused to be drawn on which one.

This show will feature new material and routines from his last tour, Live Innit, which was named the best live event of 2018 at the ITV Asian Media Awards.

Chowdhry also recently won the Comedian of the Year award in the Asian Voice awards – presented by the subsequently fired Secretary of State for Defence Gavin Williamson.

Live Innit was performed 150 times, including dates including Australia and New Zealand.
