In recent weeks our prize giveaways have been living on CiBmail, our weekly arts and culture email round-up, but today we’re treating the blog to some competition action.

We’ve got a pair of tickets to see acclaimed comic and Fringe favourite Paul Sinha at Town Hall on Tuesday 23rd November up for grabs.

Here’s a little more about Paul:

Paul Sinha has spent much of the previous decade garnering rave reviews for his self-deprecating tales of his life as a GP, lovelorn gay bachelor, quiz fanatic and social coward. This year, he doesn’t want to discuss turning forty, because he has bigger fish to fry. A racist called him a racist. Paul would like to fight back.

And if that hasn’t tempted you, here’s a selection of glowing reviews from his recent Edinburgh Festival show and more:

‘Superbly crafted and erudite stand-up… highly recommended.’ ***** Scotsgay
‘This is one of the best written shows in Edinburgh right now.’ ***** The Skinny
‘Mesmerising… entertaining and thought provoking’ **** The Scotsman
‘Alluring mix of quick wit, self-deprecation and fierce intelligence’ **** Fest
‘Impressive… a breathless polemic relieved by sharp jokes.’ **** Chortle
‘Intelligent and bitingly radical… genuinely funny… enjoyable and uplifting.’ **** Broadway Baby
‘Fast-paced, surprising twists and laugh-out-loud punchlines’ **** Hairline
‘Paul Sinha is a star.’ **** Edinburghisfunny
‘A triumph…explosive punchlines and laser guided political asides.’ Independent On Sunday
‘Reassuringly intelligent and very funny’ Observer

To win, all you have to do is leave a comment on this post with your name and we’ll pick one winner at random at 12noon tomorrow.

Good luck!

    Something has always come up to prevent me seeing Paul so far, but I am available and MORE than willing to see him on 23rd. A real wet-yer-pants-laffin’ comedian!
