Paul is a comedy writer and performer with over sixteen years of experience in live comedy, improvisation and television production based in London.
During lockdown, Paul hosted a series of weekly Questing Time shows, where he makes comedians play actual games of Dungeons & Dragons, including writing and hosting a series of Holiday Specials for D&D themselves and doing the same for Comic Relief - raising over £50,000 for the charity alongside Sue Perkins, Nish Kumar, James Acaster and Ed Gamble.
He has appeared alongside Jason Sudeikis in Apple TV’s Ted Lasso, as well as turning up in episodes of Brassic (Sky), Drifters (E4), Michael McIntyre’s Big Show (BBC) and many others.
“The slickest in the business.”
With over fourteen years experience in the teaching of improvisation for performers and the corporate sector, Paul has turned his comic-sensibilities towards script editing and comedy development with a list of projects hidden behind non-disclosure agreements for companies like the BBC, Sony Entertainment, Tiger Aspect and Amazon.
When on stage, Paul performs stand-up comedy around London’s circuit as well as improvising alongside an array of talented peers - in shows like Paul Foxcroft & Friends (& One Other Guy), Scenes From A Longer Show and There Will Be Cake with Marcus Brigstocke, Rachel Parris and Pippa Evans.https://www.scotsman.com/arts-and-culture/edinburgh-festivals/edinburgh-festival-fringe-2019-21-must-see-returning-shows-543376
“F*cking Funny.”
Most recently, Paul has developed and written interactive story based launch events for the gaming sector, put in some hours as a studio manager and spent 2022 as the event host and entertainment creative for D&D in a Castle - an immersive role-playing experience where guests enjoy a vacation full of games, interactive experiences and comedy.
2023 has so far seen Paul writing for games publishers, script consulting for TV and videogames, developing his own Kickstarter project and launching more comedy live-streams on YouTube and Twitch.
“Foxcroft has all the confidence you would expect from a man who has improvised with the best for most of his career. But this is tightly scripted stuff…”
