Catherine Bohart: ‘The funniest word? Butt’

The funniest standup I’ve ever seen …

How am I supposed to answer that? It’s like asking about your favourite kid, or the best ice-cream, or naming one good book … ugh, Michelle Wolf in Melbourne.

The funniest sketch I’ve ever seen …

SNL’s The Day Beyoncé Turned Black. Perfection.

The funniest book I’ve ever read …

The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, Aged 13 ¾. It was the funniest book I’d read until I realised I was probably Adrian.

The funniest film I’ve ever seen …

The Heat. “Was he a hearing man?” is worth a pause to breathe every time.

The funniest person I know …

My girlfriend, [comedian] Sarah Keyworth. I know I’m biased but I don’t even mean as a standup. Just day to day, she’s hilarious.

The funniest heckle I’ve ever had …

“I like your body.” I’ve never seen a room turn on a man faster, which is weird because I’ve had way worse things said to me.

The funniest meal I’ve ever eaten …

On reflection, anything I ever made on Weight Watchers. I’d try so hard to pretend it was filling. I was hungreeeee.

The funniest number …

I know what you want me to say but I won’t. Squillion.

The funniest word …

Butt.

The funniest joke …

There’s too many to choose from but London Hughes on ice-cream and the “dick brain” is the last thing to make me cry with laughter.

Catherine Bohart is touring, 30 September to 27 March
