About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
'That night, I'd survived my life flashing before me, with my dignity intact.
Yes, this chaotic life has always been a gamble.
...But what a gamble.'
Paul Sinha is an award-winning comedian, a quizzing mastermind and a happily married husband. But it hasn't always been this way.
As a boy, Paul struggled to find his place in a world where he didn't quite fit. Who was he? A smart young man with the world's knowledge at his fingertips? A traditional Bengali son, destined for a career in medicine that he didn't want? A gay man who couldn't quite come out? A man on a self-destruct mission?
Amid life's chaos, it was general knowledge - the security of clear questions with correct, if not always simple, answers - that kept Paul sane, even as he struggled into a new life as a stand-up comedian. And it was an unexpected introduction to a pub quiz team that took things even further, introducing him to a new life, a new identity, and, eventually, new love...
A hilarious and moving coming-of-age memoir of one man's search for meaning, One Sinha Lifetime is an unforgettable story of love, family, and the joy of general knowledge.

I was not let down. Paul has an unerring way with words, and has always woven stories with humour and interest. Taken through his massively interesting life with brutal honesty, it felt like you were personally involved. In some ways I was; a minority who to some degree left our ethnic roots; a career in medicine and even a love of Sport ;in particular Liverpool Football Club, I certainly felt a link!
I liked this book so much it almost feels a touch sad to have finished it; it felt that I spent several hours in Paul’s exalted company, and enjoyed every moment.
A great read.. or even listen
Highly recommended.

Paul reads the book excellently and if I have a get a chance I will be seeing him do stand-up if era comes to my area. The guy is really funny, honest to a fault, and I applaud you, Paul. What an excellent read
There is much more to this man then being a chaser!!
