PAUL ZENON |
| Paul Zenon is Britain's leading magician & funny with it! He has performed in around 30 countries in every conceivable location; from the London Palladium to the jungles of Belize, from the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas to an aircraft carrier in the Adriatic & from the Comedy Store to the back of a truck in a Bosnian war zone. |
| He has literally hundreds of television appearances to his name including three top-rating hour-long one-man specials on Channel 4 & one on ITV. Paul is probably the UK's busiest stand-up corporate entertainer, performing after dinner entertainment, link-presenting & hosting awards ceremonies at events worldwide. In the last year alone he has appeared in Paris, Cannes, Nice, Monte Carlo, Dubai, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Manila, Mauritius & Tokyo. |
| Paul has always had a devious streak. He was eight years old when he pulled off his first sting, selling raffle tickets to the residents of his street & inventing a fictional lucky winner to avoid having to award the non-existent prize. |
| As a teenager, he travelled around the Mediterranean earning his living through similarly suspect practices, the more respectable of which included performing as a street magician & fire-eater & telling the fortunes of tourists ("I can see that you will be travelling in the near future..."). |
| On his return, Paul spent a short spell as a Casino Croupier before resuming his vocation of professional trickster & comedian, serving his apprenticeship in summer seasons in Blackpool & Jersey (or 'Club 80 to Dead' as it was known), cruise ships, continental holiday hotels & numerous tours of British & United Nations military bases in Germany, Belize, the Falkland & Ascension Islands, Croatia & Bosnia. |
| Paul's TV 'street magic' shows Turning Tricks, Tricky Christmas & Trick or Treat have been screened worldwide & are amongst Channel 4's highest ever rating specials.
