It's time to enter PC's World. 'Dangerous comic genius' (Eastern Eye). 'Revives distant memories of Richard Pryor at his relentless best' (Times).

Edinburgh Fringe preview: Paul Chowdhry
When it comes to winning over an audience Paul Chowdhry doesn't take the easy route.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 25th June 2014More details
Host of Channel 4's Stand Up For The Week and star of Live At The Apollo (BBC1), Paul Chowdhry, returns to Edinburgh with his critically acclaimed show PC's World. The Loaded LAFTA funniest stand-up award winner 2013 will be performing a limited run only from 30th July - 10th August at Assembly George Square One at 9:30pm.
PC may be his initials, but the relentless world he lives in definitely isn't. Why do some people find humorous what others consider highly offensive? Why has tackling the preconceptions of political correctness become so contentious? Paul will address this issue along with such diverse subjects as the art of attracting women, jokes cut from his TV appearances, non-existent customer services and the now unforgettable 1980's in his own inimitable uncompromising style.
