Paul Sinha: Postcards From the Z List

Hindsight is a marvellous thing. Especially when you're as articulate and intelligent as Paul Sinha, rubbing shoulders with the powerful one moment and hopping on the bus with the great unwashed the next. Sinha spends an hour recounting his own ascent into minor celebrity, a confident storyteller offering up tales of embarrassment, love and home truths.

This is Sinha's chance to utter the should've-saids he's been storing up for years. Taking on everyone from David Starkey to Phil Tufnell, and even scary schoolgirls, Sinha balances his steely critique and witty ripostes with an acknowledgment of his subjects' strengths as well as their failures.

However, this is more than just a series of clever comebacks. Beautifully crafted anecdotes give us a snapshot of Sinha's life over the last four years: his television career as a professional quizzer, his relationship with someone utterly different from himself, and various other life-altering changes. He's humble about the transitions in his life, smart and even-handed – although not above a couple of snipes at the likes of Keith Lemon and Paddy McGuinness.

Postcards From the Z List is a consistently engaging show. Sinha's happiness does not come from awards or random selfies with strangers, but from enjoying the narrative of his own life. It's nice to find a comic with his feet on the ground in this celebrity-saturated world.
