If I had to picture a moment of calmfulness, it would have to be at the beach.

On the edge of the sand, with the waves at my toes, what's yours?

Calm's Herbal Remedies.

Calm's days, a traditional herbal medicine used for stress, exclusively based on traditional use only, contains Valerian Root. Always read the label.

This is a Global Player Original podcast. I've woken up in A&E. My father took a knife to the face and saved his brothers in a racist attack.

Welcome to Big Fish with me, Spencer Matthews.

Each week I speak to inspirational people about how they reach the top of their game and their mindset for success.

Paul Chowdry is an acclaimed and multi-award winning stand-up comedian, actor, writer and podcaster.

He hosts the Paul Chowdry podcast for Global Player. He's renowned as one of the

most successful British Indian stand-up comedians in history, and he's sold out Wembley Arena,

putting him in the top 10 best-selling comics of 2017. His comedy is known for being outspoken and

sometimes a bit shocking, tackling subjects like race, sex and culture.

But in this interview, we see a much more serious side to Paul.

He's talked about the impact of losing his parents, who he describes as being his best friends,

the horrific racist abuse that he and his family experienced,

and how he's built a resilient mindset to become an acclaimed comedian.

Paul Chowdhury, thanks so much for joining me.

Spencer Matthews, the legend himself.

Oh, well, we have the good fortune of bumping into each other quite regularly because you're just next door.

Actually, in the same door sometimes.

Same door sometimes.

Yeah, yeah.
