The funniest standup I’ve ever seen …
Bridget Christie. Her ability to make serious points in fluidly silly ways is so impressive.
The funniest TV show I’ve ever seen …
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I haven’t laughed at anything more in my life than when Dennis and Frank go to an orgy.
The funniest heckle I’ve ever had …
I did a long bit where I pretended to pull my face off like a mask. In the ensuing silence, a woman shouted: “Kill yourself.” Actually, what am I saying? This is the opposite of funny.
The funniest meal I’ve ever eaten …
A pepperoni pizza I burned to a crisp but I didn’t have anything else to eat so I shifted through the ash for something edible, burning my fingers raw.
The funniest hairstyle I’ve ever had …
When I was 18, I grew my hair out to shoulder length and started wearing soft trousers and long-sleeved T-shirts and smirking without explaining why.
The funniest thing that shouldn’t be funny …
My dog’s face. I don’t get it. It’s so stupid and sad and hilarious.
The funniest number …
Any age I used to be. I love looking back at 29 and being like: “Ha ha, you used to scare the shit out of me and now you just look so small.”
The funniest word …
Farouche. It means sullen or shy in company. It’d be such a perversely ostentatious word for someone to use to describe themselves if they’re shy.
