The funniest standup I’ve ever seen …
I’m split between Chris Rock’s Kill the Messenger and Bigger & Blacker. Seminal routines and blistering social commentary: that’s my perfect storm.
The funniest sketch I’ve ever seen …
All the French and Saunders film parodies, but the Silence of the Lambs one is a classic. It’s fun seeing moody films sent up by these two natural clowns.
The funniest book I’ve ever read …
The Red Dwarf book Better Than Life. It’s tea-spittingly funny.
The funniest TV show I’ve ever seen …
Well, it’s got to be Friends although a lot of it is, let’s say, out of alignment with today’s values.
The funniest film I’ve ever seen …
Ghostbusters – easily. A ton of great, quotable lines: “Ray, when someone asks you if you’re a god, you say YES!”
The funniest person I know …
Luke Toulson, who’s a friend and comedian. Whenever we meet, he cracks me up; then says he wishes audiences laughed at his stuff as much as I do. It’s a lie. They do. He’s brilliant.
The funniest item of clothing I’ve ever owned …
As a teen, I asked my mum to make me a flowy, white summer skirt. They were all the rage that year. When she presented it to me, she’d got the thickest material possible, like jeans. It was like a tipi.
The funniest hairstyle I’ve ever had …
I tried to do my own highlights once. It did not go well. I looked like a badger.
The funniest dream I’ve ever had …
My dreams are usually apocalyptic rather than comedic. I’ve dreamed myself into zombie-filled dystopias more times than I can count. I quite enjoy them, though.
The funniest word …
“Bob” … in Blackadder.
