The funniest standup I’ve ever seen …
I went to see Daniel Kitson in Edinburgh and that left me feeling like I’d had a spiritual experience. But in terms of a comedian who makes me scream with belly-muscle-pulling, roaring laughter, I will say Lou Sanders. She’s an absolute dynamo.
The funniest book I’ve ever read …
I, Partridge: We Need to Talk About Alan. I listened to it as an audiobook while doing a temp job. Because of my stupid laugh, they caught me listening and I got fired.
The funniest film I’ve ever seen …
The funniest person I know …
My dad. Once, when I was a student, I was doing loads of medical trials for money, including some where they took biopsies from the inside of my nose. He said: “Eventually, there’ll be nothing left of you except a hand, holding a massive wodge of cash.”
The funniest hairstyle I’ve ever had …
When I was five, I hid under a desk and ate a whole box of Dairy Milk miniatures and cut off all my hair, down to a few curly tufts. My mum was devastated but I really liked it because I looked like a boy called Dan at school.
The funniest word …
“Tuppence”. It’s what I’ve trained my child son to call a vagina.
The funniest joke I’ve ever heard …
What do Germans think comes between fear and sex? Funf.
