The funniest sketch I’ve ever seen …

Al Roberts’s entrance to the Sheeps 2015 show Sheeps Skewer the News, when he came on with a mohican wig saying he was a punk now. I honestly could not get enough of that.

The funniest film I’ve ever seen…

Enduring Love was pretty funny. There was a closeup of the back of Daniel Craig’s sensible trainers that tickled me pink.

The funniest heckle I’ve ever had …

A drunk man from Leeds once fell asleep in the middle of one of my more insufferable “bits”. I always saw that as a fairly conclusive heckle.

The funniest item of clothing I’ve ever owned …

Billy Joel-branded cagoule.

The funniest meal I’ve ever eaten …

I’m currently eating John West “Mexican style” tuna (from their Spreadables range) straight from the tin with a spoon. I was given it for my birthday.

The funniest dream I’ve ever had …

At Christmas time I dreamed I was a highly successful beatboxer.

The funniest thing that shouldn’t be funny …

The bit that goes “He’s got a car!” in the 1993 Mr Blobby song. When I heard that I remember laughing with such a passion that it felt like I was getting an electric shock in my brain.

The funniest joke I’ve ever heard …

From Mr Blobby’s Jokebook – “Q: What does Mr Blobby keep under his bed? A: Bits and blobs!”
