About
Paul Merton (born Paul James Martin) is an English comedian, actor and presenter whose public recognition arises mainly from his career in television and radio. He became a central figure in British comedy by establishing himself as a team captain and regular panellist on high‑audience shows, notably Have I Got News for You, and gained prominence in improvisational comedy with Whose Line Is It Anyway?.
His comic style blends improvisation, deadpan delivery and surreal humour, traits that made him a point of reference among critics and peers and placed him among the most admired comedians in the United Kingdom. On radio, he has been a regular presence on Just a Minute since 1989, maintaining a prominent role for decades.
Beyond performing, Merton has presented and devised his own formats and taken part in a variety of projects — from documentary series about theatres to adaptations of classic scripts — which broadened his reach beyond stand‑up stages. He is also a long‑standing member of the improvisation group Comedy Store Players.
Merton’s legacy is tied to the popularisation of televised improvisation and to the consolidation of a distinctive style that influenced generations of British comedians.
