Paul's journey in the world of comedy began with a series of performances at open mic nights, a venture he undertook during his junior year at Yale University. This marked the starting point of his professional comedy career, which would eventually lead to a plethora of exciting opportunities.
Notably, Paul's early endeavors in comedy resulted in a significant achievement, as he emerged as the first runner-up in Yale University's 2011 Last Comic Standing competition. This impressive feat not only showcased his exceptional comedic skills but also served as a testament to his dedication and perseverance.
Furthermore, Paul had the privilege of hosting the Fall Show, an event that featured the renowned comedian Bo Burnham. This esteemed opportunity not only allowed him to share the stage with a fellow comedian but also provided him with valuable experience in hosting and performing in front of a live audience. The Fall Show, held later that same year, served as a culmination of Paul's hard work and marked a significant milestone in his comedy career.
Beyond his notable endeavors in the realm of comedy, Paul showcased his impressive versatility by taking on the role of director for the visual aspects of The Yale Record, the esteemed and venerable college humor magazine in the United States, with a rich history dating back to its founding.
