Hi People,

Another month under my belt ....which I'm wearing slightly lower these days due to a diet...but that's another story! After shaking off a slow start to 2009 (due to ill health ) I am now emerging from a COMATOSE state to....ALMOST awake!...but...I am determined that March will find me WIDE awake and ready for anything!

At this moment I am co-directing a play which is taking shape well....due largely in part to my Co-Director and naturally talented actors.So far my voice has remained fairly silent leaving them free reign over their parts.Once I have evaluated their capabilities and depth of acting I will make my voice heard!....This is my learning curve in what is turning out to be a very interesting project!

Over the last two months I have written a fair amount on my philosophy of comedy and the ideas are beginning to flow!
Hopefully   this  month will turn out to be as productive as the last! My plan for   next   month is to have a basic 'Stand up' act and put some 'Bones On The Flesh' of the play I am in the process of creating.

Until then,Dear Friends it's......Self discipline and Biro over Boredom! Have to go now......Inspiration's calling!!....Can't waste it!  

See you again soon

Paul trained at Green Leaf School of Drama 1984/88 performing in various productions including Tybalt in Romeo & Juliet, Bernardo in west side story, Macbeth in Macbeth, Danny in grease Frank “n” Furter in the rocky horror picture show. To earn his equity status, Paul tried comedy, and as a gifted comedian toured first solo, then as part of a double act called “Cotton & Grant” appearing under the name of Paul Grant. Paul also toured as a solo act appearing as a comedian on the “Les Dawson show” in 1990 after he worked successfully as, comedian and compare incorporating touring the club circuit.

Paul was offered the role of “Len” in the Bootleg Theatre Company's production of “Clubland” at the Salisbury playhouse, spring 2001. Paul has also taken joint lead role in the theatre company's production of “cool blokes-decent suits” performed in Salisbury & London in 2002. And he saw the year out with his next film role as Brian the Mechanic in Stephen Fry's Bright Young Things.

2003 found Paul in the midst of two personal projects he had been slowly formulating for a few years. He decided to focus more on building the projects “Tears of a Clown” and “Bet on It” (working titles) and did the occasional advertising jobs like Victim , Accidents In Workplace , Reader's Digest. 2004 Brought more television work in the guise of a guest shows devil's advocate for Ben TV and a magazine Commercial for Toshiba. Paul also played the role of David in Sean Mathias's screen adaptation of Martin Sherman's Bent staring Clive Owen, Lothaire Bluteau and Sir Ian McKellen for Channel 4 Films. 2005 Paul returned to developing his two project yet found himself more and more drawn into re-developing his stand up act as he came to realise how much he was missing the comedy circuit.

2008 came as a surprise as Paul found himself being asked to recall his life on Tracks of Our Lives hosted by Sharon Muiruri for Hope FM. The voice over work continued with a commercial for Fitness First. And the suprises kept on coming Paul found himself working with old friends once more, the Wildfire Team approached Paul for a commercial the Funeral Ceremony and Colin Burden Invited him to play the role of the Boss in the film When the Lights Go Down, Burlomars Production. Venturing into new ground with new talent Paul agreed to be in a Student Film Redemption where he plays the part of a practical jock playing Priest Father Edmond alongside Julian Pindar.

The second is entitled “MR CRITCHLEY, ISN'T IT?”… My character is ‘ Adrian '. ..”Sleazy, Pompous and arrogant”…an MP!... (Need I say more?) Two diverse roles…each challenging in their own way! BOTH PIECES WILL BE PERFORMED UNDER THE BANNER OF “CALLING TIME” and will be directed by MR COLIN BURDEN
