Paul Foot (born December 24 1973) is a British comedian. He went to school at Royal Grammar School, High Wycombe before reading Mathematics at the University of Oxford, with the intention of becoming an accountant. Since leaving university, he has pursued a career as a stand-up comedian, with numerous television and radio appearances and several awards to his credit.

Paul's more recent TV appearances include "Rob Brydon's Annually Retentive", the Channel 4 2005 comedy discussion show "FAQ U", "Edinburgh and Beyond" shows on the Paramount Comedy TV Channel 2005, and "Unanimous - The Fallout" on E4.

Paul regularly performs live in venues across London. In September 2006 he started Paul Foot's Comedy for Connoisseurs, a regular solo variety show in London which has featured guest spots by fellow comedians such as "Stewart Lee".

Paul has a rapidly growing following of those who have taken to his unique style of performance who gather in a fan club-esque secret society he calls "The Guild Of Paul Foot Connoisseurs".

He recently finished in tenth place on the NBC reality comedy series "Last Comic Standing 6".
