Your Host and MC: PAUL COX
Paul Cox is our fantastic host and most definitely an unsung talent on the UK comedy circuit, performing at some of the best clubs alongside the stars, where he is very much at home. He has supported Esther Manito on tour and appeared at the Byline Festival and Victorious in his home town of Portsmouth and we’re delighted to have him.
