Anyone who has seen Paul Williams on screen will likely recognise him as either Guy Williams brother, or in the sidekick role on the local Taskmaster – on which Guy Williams was a contestant. Yet he has his own unique comedic brand, a style that doesn t quite adapt to the panel shows that suit his brother more; one that s reliant on music and a generated atmosphere more so than your usual stand-up hour.
That awkward vibe was established early in his new Comedy Festival show, In The Moonlight, when Williams director, Sanjay, shows up to open the show as Paul s understudy, kicking the stand for the background screen and leaving it that way for the entire show.
