| Ages of Foot - Paul through the years |
He speaks in a strange, archaic-sounding dialect of his own invention; he moves like each one of his limbs has its own unique agenda; he dresses like a 1970s space-beatnik and consistently sports one of the most ridiculous hairstyles known to man.
All of this has led to Foot establishing himself as one of the most unique comics of his generation, with a loyal international following (known as his 'Connoisseurs') and a clutch of award nominations and wins to his name. Despite the oddness of his act, he has appeared on the likes of Russell Howard's Good News, 8 out of 10 Cats and Would I Lie To You?, and was a regular on Never Mind the Buzzcocks with his mate Noel Fielding.

| Get a triple dose of Foot at The Cookie. |
This Autumn, he is obviously in nostalgic mood, because he has decided to tour his favourite venues with not one new show, but three old ones. 'Retrospective' sees Foot return to his regular Leicester haunt, The Cookie, this Thursday, Friday and Saturday, to perform his shows 'By the Yard', 'Still Life' and 'Kenny Larch is Dead', each show followed by a question and answer session. Tickets for all 3 shows are available here.
And since he is going to be in Leicester for three whole days, he has decided to see the sights of Leicester, and has launched a drawing competition amongst his Connoisseurs, the winner getting to spend the day with him at the National Space Centre. For more details on that, visit his 'web log'.
