Paul Sinha
PAUL Sinha, Morgan Rees and Bethany Black form the triple bill for Candlelit Comedy at Carlton Towers, near Selby, on Saturday.
For one night only, the Picture Gallery in this Grade I listed country house will play host to a brace of stand-up bills by candlelight at 7pm and 9.15pm.
Luton-born doctor, quizzer and comic storyteller Sinha is best known as The Sinnerman, one of six Chasers on ITV quiz The Chase, as well as for his appearances on Taskmaster and once played Abanazar in the Grand Opera House pantomime in York, playing opposite Debbie McGee and Suzanne Shaw in Three Bears Productions’ Aladdin in 2016-2017.
Rees is a BBC New Comedy Award finalist with an offbeat style and self-deprecating charm, while Black is a trailblazing voice in British comedy with a darkly humorous, fearless manner.

Set against the dramatic backdrop of Carlton Towers’ Victorian interiors, the night offers a fresh way to experience the house: blending heritage, atmosphere and live comedy in a new format. Drinks will be available throughout the event, which is curated by HeritageXplore, a new platform set up to celebrate British independent heritage houses through imaginative cultural programming.
By bringing bold, modern events into historic spaces, HeritageXplore seeks to connect new audiences with the stories, spaces and character of these family homes.
The event is produced in collaboration with Comedy At The Castle. Tickets are on sale at https://www.heritagexplore.com/events/candlelit-comedy-at-carlton-towers.
