Paul was a member of Chicago's Second
City improv group for several years, along with Amy Sedaris and Stephen Colbert. The trio realized how well they worked together and eventually co-created "Exit 57," a sketch comedy show which aired on Comedy Central for two seasons. Exit 57 received five CableACE nominations for best writing, performing and comedy series.
Strangers with Candy ran for three seasons on Comedy Central, and a movie version is due out in summer 2006!
Paul, Amy and Stephen co-wrote the book "Wigfield: The Can-Do Town That Just May Not," which can also be purchased in audio form on CD. Click here and here to read more about Wigfield.
