The funniest standup I’ve ever seen …
Ross Noble: the way his mind works is fascinating.
The funniest sketch I’ve ever seen …
Maureen and David doing their “Superman” dance in Psychoville cracks me up every time. Whenever I need a laugh, I search for it on YouTube.
The funniest book I’ve ever read …
Adam Kay’s This Is Going to Hurt. I probably laughed at all the wrong parts, though.
The funniest TV show I’ve ever seen …
The League of Gentlemen. It’s just so delightfully twisted and weird that I love it. I grew up watching it, so that explains my dark sense of humour a lot.
The funniest person I know …
My dad. Although I’d never admit it to his face, he’s constantly giving me new ideas for material.
The funniest heckle I’ve ever had …
I’ve actually never been heckled yet. I do have some comebacks stored just in case, though. I’m dying to use them.
The funniest item of clothing I’ve ever owned …
I get laughed at in the street whenever I wear my Newcastle United shirt, so I’d have to say that.
The funniest meal I’ve ever eaten …
Whenever I eat lasagne in a restaurant. My iPad can’t pronounce it properly, so it always takes about half an hour to order.
The funniest hairstyle I’ve ever had …
I once shaved my head to look like ex-Newcastle United player Lee Clark. That was a definite low point.
The funniest dream I’ve ever had …
I dreamed I could talk once. I woke up to loads of random words typed out on my iPad.
The funniest thing that shouldn’t be funny …
Donald Trump.
The funniest number …
Sixty-nine. Obviously. Anyone who doesn’t say that is just lying to themselves.
The funniest word …
Codswallop. What does it even mean!?
The funniest joke I’ve ever heard …
“My dad said: ‘Always leave them wanting more.’ Ironically, that’s how he lost his job in disaster relief” – Mark Watson.
Lee Ridley’s (AKA Lost Voice Guy) book, I’m Only in It for the Parking, is available online
