Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2018
Paul's co-written or worked on many much-loved comedy shows – The Vicar of Dibley, I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue, Mrs Brown's Boys, Spitting Image and Roald Dahl's Esio Trot starring Dustin Hoffman and Judi Dench. Now Paul has Parkinson's, but he's still laughing. Following an award-winning BBC documentary Parkinson's: The Funny Side and a triumphant debut at London's Comedy Store, here's a one-man show about the therapeutic power of comedy. Paul is not contagious, but he is worth catching. 'Very funny – and moving too' (Richard Curtis). 'An inspiration' (Audience member with Parkinson's).
