He has also released four albums with Edinburgh band The Leg. In 2013 he published his first book, ''Itchy Grumble'', and in 2015 his first theatrical play ''Jennifer's Robot Arm'' debuted in London. ''Twonkey's Mumbo Jumbo Hotel'' won the Malcolm Hardee Award for Comic Originality at the 2016 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. In 2022 ''What Broke David Lynch?'' written about the Hollywood film director having difficulty making a costume for ''The Elephant Man'' was announced as Vickers 2nd theatre vehicle with Paul playing Lynch himself.
