The funniest film I’ve ever seen
I am a big fan of Dr Strangelove Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. Sadly it could not be more relevant.
The funniest sketch I’ve ever seen
Heard not seen, but some of Derek and Clive’s sketches can get me on a repeated basis. Two of my favourites are Alfie Noakes and Non-Stop Dancer.
The funniest hairstyle I’ve ever had
Being bald seems to be very funny to toddlers. They like to pat my head and tell me I look like a baby.
The funniest number
Pi has got to be up there.
The funniest standup I’ve ever seen
The three funniest standup sets I can remember ever seeing were from Parrot, Ian Cognito and Phil Kay – none of which are necessarily household names.
The funniest TV show I’ve ever seen
Curb Your Enthusiasm has made me laugh more than any other television show. The finale to season three – The Grand Opening – remains a firm highlight.
The funniest thing that shouldn’t be funny
I’ve been to two funerals where somebody present has farted very loudly.
The funniest heckle I’ve ever had
At my first ever gig, a woman shouted out, “Keep going – you’re doing really well.”
The funniest item of clothing I’ve ever owned
As a teenager, I had a pair of burgundy suede shoes. The first day I wore them out to a party, was sick on them and had to throw them away.
The funniest meal I’ve ever eaten
I once sat down for a meal that turned into a food fight gradually involving all 150 people present.
The funniest book I’ve ever read
I once read the Bible cover to cover. I remember laughing quite hard when I read that Noah lived to 950 years old.
