British Comedy Guide, 16th April 2016Radio Times review
Dara O Briain is a very safe pair of hands for hosting Live at the Apollo, which continues its newly-demoted run on BBC Two this week. Whether it's the sexiness of men's elbows, the tragedy that built the Channel Tunnel or a very clever (if rude) way to get men to be completely honest, the Irish comedian holds court with a casual confidence and panache that most of his peers could only dream of.
That said, his guests on tonight's show more than hold their own, whether it's the wry deconstructions of Zoe Lyons or the dark and controversial gags of Paul Chowdhry. Forget which channel it's on - when this series works, it really works.
Huw Fullerton, Radio Times, 10th November 2015Review - Paul Chowdhry: PC's World
He's recording his second DVD in his third sold-out night at the Hammersmith Apollo, so Paul Chowdhry must be doing something right. But whether that thing is originality and wit is open to debate.

Charles Hutchinson, The York Press, 24th July 2015Paul Chowdhry, Leicester Square Theatre - comedy review
Despite a reputation for being edgy, Paul Chowdhry seemed to prefer routines about Jeremy Clarkson and Michael Jackson which felt way past their tell-by date.
Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard, 5th November 2014Paul Chowdhry review
Tawdry gags about Gypsies, gay people and the French. The stand-up's PC's World seldom strays from xenophobia in a show full of poor jokes and weak puns.

Previews of the Glasgow International Comedy Festival, Paul Chowdhry and Angela Barnes.
James Kettle, The Guardian, 7th March 2014Almost by stealth, this vaguely satirical, topical stand-up showcase has made it to a fifth series. Functioning as a sort of halfway-house testing ground between Mock the Week and Have I Got News for You, it's seen a surprisingly illustrious stream of light-entertainment talent pass through its doors.
Jack Whitehall, Kevin Bridges, Patrick Kielty and Rich Hall have all made appearances before moving on; this time Paul Chowdhry takes over hosting duties while regulars Seann Walsh and Josh Widdicombe are joined by newbies Simon Evans, Romesh Ranganathan and Angela Barnes in sticking the boot into the week's news. Decent post-pub fun, if you're in the market for that sort of thing.
