The funniest standup I’ve ever seen …
American comedian Dr Brown [Phil Burgers]. And I cried when I saw Steve Martin touring with his bluegrass band because I’m a baby and he’s my hero.
The funniest person I know …
Too many to name, but Rich Fulcher could just stand there blinking and I’d get giddy.
The funniest meal I’ve ever eaten …
While living in Saudi Arabia my mom gave me lamb for dinner but it tasted really weird, and when I finished she was giggling and told me it was actually camel meat. I still don’t quite know why she lied or found it so funny.
The funniest dream I’ve ever had …
I have a recurring nightmare where I’m taking a poop into a toilet seat in the middle of an art gallery and everyone is absolutely disgusted by me. It’s always mortifying when I wake up but, yeah, also funny I guess.
The funniest word …
I’m currently getting a big kick out of “spooky”. Nothing can be spooky once you call it spooky. It becomes stupid. I like “boogie woogie” too.
The funniest sketch I’ve ever seen …
Anything by Cardinal Burns. They’re my favourite double act. And both of them have French-Jewish dads and mums from Essex. Really, really weird.
The funniest hairstyle I’ve ever had …
I don’t like thinking about hair any more. I’m bald now – a disgusting, awful, horrible, disgusting bald man.
