Comedian Paul Sinha of The Chase gets the bugle call with life member honour
Stand-up comedian Paul Sinha, known to millions for his appearances on ITV’s quiz show The Chase, was guest speaker at a Birmingham Press Club lunch, where he received the Club’s traditional gift of a bugle (crafted in Birmingham’s jewellery quarter by Acme Whistles) and was made an Honorary Life Member. Guests included Gary Hudson, former BBC Midlands Today chief reporter and big money winner on the show two years ago, and Said Khan, who gets a mention in Paul’s autobiography, One Sinha Lifetime, as a fellow-quiz enthusiast. The lunch at Park Regis Birmingham raised £700 for the Journalists’ Charity, with prizes donated by Cosmo Restaurant Wolverhampton, Digbeth Dining Club, Park Regis, Worcestershire County Cricket Club and Press Club directors Adrian Kibbler, John Lamb and Peter Brookes.
