As a former high school English teacher in Vancouver, Paul brought an inspiring mixture of laughter and learning into the classroom. After seven years, he found that it was more fun laughing at his students than with them, and that's when he took to the stand-up stage.
Since 2000, Paul has appeared in many comedy competitions and festivals, including Montreal's Just For Laughs and Vancouver’s CanWest Comedy Festival. He represented Vancouver in Yuk Yuk's Search For Canada's Funniest New Comic on the Comedy Network and was a semi-finalist in the San Francisco Comedy Competition. He can be seen on CBC specials 'Sleeping With The Elephant' and 'Western Alienation', as well as CTV’s Comedy Now! for his own one hour comedy special.
With his sketch comedy duo Paul received outstanding reviews from critics and was called “the future of comedy” by Robin Williams. Paul formed a quarter of the television team for CityNews List on CityTV, a made-in-Vancouver show that poked fun at the news. As well, he has been a regular voice on the hit CBC Radio series, The Debaters.
Paul combines his comedy and teaching skills as a motivational speaker at teacher’s conferences and student’s groups. He is also available to run corporate leadership workshops on public speaking, presentations and bringing humor into the workplace. Read more about Paul's motivational speaking here.
