Paul Sinha has yet to really breakout, although hes been building a solid stand-up foundation over the years at the Fringe. So with this in mind, he started off tonight with an introduction for those in the audience who hadnt seen him before. I dont know if this was needed you could have slipped that in unobtrusively later, mate.However, when he got going Sinha was extremely good. As excitingly intelligent and bitingly radical as I recall him being when comic ideas poured out of him in a hot and stuffy little shed. He was political tonight, which was good, because he does know how to make a political point in a genuinely funny way, and also does know how to bring his audience up sharp for a moment of serious thought. He was good on the unexpected dilemmas and hilarious moments that can come from putting yourself on the line in the fight against racism.This was a very enjoyable and uplifting hour, with Sinha showing considerable warmth in his rapport with the audience. (And good luck with your chosen audience member, Paul). But Im still not sure the very last joke was as funny as Sinha thought it was. Nor am I sure we are as decent a nation as Sinha still thinks we are. But he was right to lambast the Red Tops.
