Paul Chowdhry

Tajpaul Singh Chowdhry, better known as Paul Chowdhry, is a British comedian and actor. He is of Indian Punjabi Sikh descent. He has been performing as a stand-up comedian since 1998, at times using influences from his experience in Britain as an Indian with Punjabi Sikh history to inspire his work and in hopes to challenge the stereotypes that come with it. Chowdhry has released four stand-up comedy specials, What’s Happening White People released through Universal Pictures in 2012 and later broadcast on Channel 4, PC’s World released on DVD through Universal Pictures in 2015, Live Innit on Amazon Prime Video in 2019 and later shown on Comedy Central, and Family-Friendly Comedian on Sky UK in 2024. In 2016, he competed on Taskmaster alongside Dave Gorman, Sara Pascoe, Al Murray and eventual winner Rob Beckett. He has performed six tours across the world – Not PC (2010), What’s Happening White People? (2012), PC’s World (2014), Live Innit? (2017), Family Friendly Comedian (2022), and Englandia, which debuted in 2025. Live Innit? Became a landmark moment after Chowdhry became the first comedian of Asian heritage to sell out Wembley Arena in 2017. As an actor, Chowdhry is known for Cruella (2021), Devils (2019), Swinging with the Finkels (2011), and Colour Me Kubrick (2005).
