Paul has played to sell-out audiences at both the Edinburgh Festival and around the country and has headlined Variety Live at the Palladium with performers from Cirque to Soleil.

The performance begins at 7.30pm and tickets are £17.50/£16.50, available from the box office on 01923 859291 or go to www.radlettcentre.co.uk.
