The funniest sketch I’ve ever seen …
As a kid, I loved Kenny Everett. During one sketch, he plays Rod Stewart in tight lepoardskin pants singing Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?, and his arse gets bigger and bigger as the song goes on until he floats away.
The funniest person I know …
My brother, Edwin. He’s very quick witted and a great storyteller. I’ve written down funny stuff he’s said and turned it into material. Glad he doesn’t do comedy, as he’d be better than me.
The funniest heckle I’ve ever had …
Not so much a heckle, but in my early days, I had a bad show and a guy came up to me after and silently offered me cocaine. Cocaine is forever in my mind linked with failure.
The funniest item of clothing I ever owned …
Dr Martens, dungarees and bomber jackets covered with badges were fashionable in the late 80s. I bought as many badges as I could. Looking back at pictures after I’d read a few books, I discovered some of these badges were slightly lesser-known Nazi emblems.
The funniest hairstyle I’ve ever had …
As a teenager, I loved Soul II Soul and was part of the “funki dred” movement, which was dreadlocks on top of the head and shaved around the sides. But wanting to stand out even more, I bleached my dreadlocks blond, and also did my eyebrows to match. I looked like a cotton bud.
The funniest thing that shouldn’t be funny …
Pretty much anything on Instagram nowadays.
