Exiled Cornishman Paul Kerensa
has established himself as one of British comedy's leading young
talents. In just a few short years he has become a regular at the UK's
biggest venues, as well as performing at the prestigious Montreal
Just For Laughs Comedy Festival. Still only in his mid-20s and as
ginger as the day he was born, Paul has battled both prejudice and
apathy, and emerged to win ITV's 'Take The Mike' stand-up
competition in 2002. In the same year, he appeared in the Edinburgh
Festival's televised final of the BBC's new comedy competition and has
brand of slightly geeky stand-up was launched upon the UK public.
Paul's rapid ascent was recognised at an
early stage when he was invited to support top mime duo Men In
Coats on their UK theatrical tour.
In 2004, Paul became a staff writer
at the BBC, contributing to numerous popular radio and television
shows including 'Dead Ringers', 'The News Quiz', 'The
Now Show', 'Parsons & Naylor's Pull-Out Section' and 'The
Lee Mack Show'.
Paul took his debut solo show, ‘Paul
Kerensa’s 26’, to the Edinburgh Fringe in 2005 and was a surprise
hit, selling out on many occasions and even turning a profit! He will
return in 2006 with his follow-up show ‘Back To The Futon’.
