Paul Sinha, the quick-witted quizzer from ITV's The Chase, is bringing a fresh hour of comedy to Southport's under-canvas festival. If you've watched him demolish contestants on daytime telly, you'll know he's got timing, charm and a razor-sharp brain—all of which translate brilliantly to the stand-up stage.

What's on

Paul Sinha returns with an entirely new show, performing at the Southport Comedy Festival's outdoor venue in Victoria Park on 3 October 2026. The show runs from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., giving you a solid two-hour slot (though Sinha's set will be the centrepiece). Tickets are for ages 16 and up.

The vibe

Picture this: an open-air comedy tent in Lancashire autumnal sunshine—or drizzle, let's be honest—packed with people who appreciate wit that doesn't talk down to you. Sinha's comedy is cerebral without being smug; he riffs on travel, relationships and the peculiar logic of quizzing culture. The under-canvas setting adds a festival atmosphere that's more relaxed than a theatre but still intimate enough for his material to land properly.

Getting tickets

Tickets are available through the Southport Comedy Festival box office. Prices aren't listed in advance, so check the festival website or Skiddle directly when they go on sale. Comedy festival passes often offer decent value if multiple acts appeal to you.

Getting there

Southport is well connected by train—direct services from Manchester, Liverpool and Preston take 30-50 minutes.

Flying into Manchester or Liverpool airports is also viable, though you'll need an onward journey of about an hour.
