Katy Wix: ‘The Day Today is the funniest TV show I've ever seen’

The funniest book I’ve ever read …

I can’t decide between Nomad and I, Partridge. I love Robert Popper’s books, too.

The funniest TV show I’ve ever seen …

The Day Today was the first show where I’d learn whole chunks by heart. I couldn’t believe that adults were allowed to still be silly. I recently watched a pilot made by Mark Proksch called Good Morning Tri-State and it’s one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.

The funniest film I’ve ever seen …

The recent Diana film was, unintentionally, very funny. I saw it three times.

The funniest heckle I’ve ever had …

Someone threw up as soon as I walked on, which is a pretty damning review.

The funniest item of clothing I’ve ever owned …

Due to a series of catastrophic events, I recently ended up in my Thailand trousers and I had forgotten how amusing they are.

The funniest meal I’ve ever eaten …

I was in a small cafe not long ago in mid Wales. I ordered a burger and asked if I could have a salad with it, and when it arrived it was a fruit salad. The bun had begun to absorb the fruit’s juice.

The funniest dream I’ve ever had …

I once dreamed that my day job was to push a huge boulder up Oxford Street every day, from 10am to 3pm. It was exhausting but the dream was to do with renegotiating the contract.
