The funniest TV show I’ve ever seen
The Fast Show. Many sketch shows have tried to replicate it but failed; they perfected the art of repetition.
The funniest standup I’ve ever seen
Ross Noble at the Leicester De Montfort Hall on his Randomist tour. It’s the only time I’ve hurt from laughing at a standup comedian. A routine he did about his mate having a plum removed was hysterical.
The funniest hairstyle I’ve ever had
My girlfriend at the time once cut my fringe way too short and then laughed about it for months afterwards.
The funniest book I’ve ever read
The Timewaster Letters by Robert Popper. Every single letter makes me laugh out loud.
The funniest item of clothing I’ve ever owned
A glow-in-the-dark T- shirt of a haunted house. I was 25.
The funniest number
68.
The funniest meal I’ve ever eaten
Lunch in a tea shop in Banbury. Our elderly waitress farted after saying: “Here’s your Banbury cake” to my brother.
The funniest heckle I’ve ever had
“I can read a poem instead if you like.”
The funniest person I know
My mum is very funny when she wants to be.
The funniest thing that shouldn’t be funny
I used to work with autistic children and they said a lot of funny things to me.
The funniest film I’ve ever seen
This Is Spinal Tap. My favourite line is: “Have a good time, all the time.”
The funniest word
Butt.
The funniest dream I’ve ever had
I recently had a dream that Johnny Vegas was in a metal band that dressed like cavemen and performed on a stage that looked like the Grand Canyon. I woke up before I could tell if it was a comedy act or not, though.
