Paul McHugh

Paul McHugh is a comedian, writer and occasional professional overthinker who has been making people laugh for absolutely no sensible reason.

His comedy covers everyday life, relationships, family, awkward situations, modern society and the strange realisation that nobody actually knows what they're doing. His style mixes observational comedy, ridiculous stories and the sort of thoughts that probably should have stayed in his head.

Paul has also received a frankly unnecessary number of prestigious awards, including:

🏆 Winner — The Golden Toilet Seat Award for Outstanding Contribution to Sitting Down
🏆 Best Comedian Who Nearly Had a Proper Job — 2025
🏆 Runner-Up — Britain's Most Reasonably Funny Man
🏆 The Dave Award for Having a Mate Called Dave
🏆 Lifetime Achievement Award for Surviving Group Chats
🏆 Best New Comedian, Despite Technically Not Being New
🏆 The International Award for Excellence in Making Things Up
🏆 Most Promising Comedian to Have Forgotten Why He Walked Into the Room
🏆 People's Choice Award — Chosen by Three People and a Dog
🏆 Outstanding Achievement in Saying "This Should Work" Before It Absolutely Doesn't
🏆 The Golden Microphone Award — Unfortunately Made of Plastic
🏆 Best Comedy Website Bio Written About Paul McHugh — 2026

With over 7,000 followers and rising daily, Paul is building an audience both online and on stage.

His mission is simple: make people laugh, tell ridiculous stories, and hopefully get away with it.

He currently holds the world record for being the only person to put this many fake awards on a comedy website without being legally recognised by anyone.
