Anna Ptaszynski: ‘I dreamed I served a baby for lunch’

Anna Ptaszynski
Good elf… Anna Ptaszynski

The funniest sketch I’ve ever seen …

Harry and Paul’s Question Time sketch springs to mind. Their panel show sketch would also be hilarious if I didn’t work on a panel show and thus find it very offensive.

The funniest item of clothing I’ve ever owned …

My favourite outfit when I was 12 was head-to-toe bright orange clothes – shoes, socks, flares, fluffy jumper and then a large, furry, dalmatian-print top hat.

The funniest dream I’ve ever had …

I had a dream recently that I had a baby and served it to my parents for lunch. Is that funny? I may not be ready for motherhood.

The funniest hairstyle I’ve ever had …

I don’t know if it counts as a hairstyle, but at university four of us thought it’d be a good idea to shave Adidas stripes in our eyebrows. We hung around a lot together after that, partly because we needed each other to complete the look, and partly because no one else wanted to be seen with us.

The funniest word …

Some, presumably bored, academics actually did a study on this last year. They concluded the words people find funniest are “upchuck”, “bubby” and “boff”, which I’m not sure I agree with. I quite like “twaddle”.

The funniest joke I’ve ever heard …

Q: Why shouldn’t you buy your trousers from northern Ukraine? A: Chernobyl fallout.
