One of ITV The Chase' quizzers has hit out at a 'moronic' front row adult during their Edinburgh Festival Fringe show.
Paul Sinha, otherwise known as The Sinnerman, has been an ever-present Chaser on the popular daytime show, but was enraged by one individual in particular that did not turn their ringtone off during his recent Fringe performance.
Paul referenced a tweet by comedian Matt Forde, who hit out on social media after a crying baby made his show increasingly difficult and suggested the mother of the child should have taken them outside.

He said he'd rather have a crying baby in the audience over someone who did not turn their phone on silent. He commented: "I'd rather have a baby in my audience than a moronic front row adult with no idea how to turn their top volume ringtone off. Soul sapping."
Although Paul's career has primarily been focussed on quizzing, his excellently named show at this year's Fringe: One Sinha Lifetime, is a stand-up performance at The Stand's New Town Theatre.
The description of the show reads: "In January 2020, Paul embarked on a national tour, his most ambitious show combining stand-up, music, hula-hooping and tales of romantic validation and neurological degeneration. As it turned out 2020 proved to be the wrong year to embark on a national tour.
"For everyone. Undeterred, Paul returns, with the difficult second post-diagnosis album. Expect jokes and surprises. Paul has a story to tell. And an absolute banger of a title. 'The stories are told with a constant light-touch wit... Parkinson’s hasn’t robbed him of his ability to do stand-up, it’s enhanced it'"
Comedian Paul Savage replied to Paul's tweet, saying he had a similar incident at his show. He replied: "How has this happened again? Had it in my show today too."
