The funniest TV show I’ve ever seen
Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!. I saw it after series one of Limmy’s Show and it inspired me to speed things up a bit.
The funniest film I’ve ever seen
Fateful Findings by Neil Breen. It’s an unintentionally funny film – because it’s bad – along the same lines of The Room by Tommy Wiseau.
The funniest person I know
My girlfriend Lynn.
The funniest meal I’ve ever eaten
Baked beans and toast by myself for my Christmas dinner when I was about 20, with a casserole dish lid for a plate.
The funniest thing that shouldn’t be funny
The sort of things I wouldn’t dare mention because it would be social and career suicide.
The funniest item of clothing I’ve ever owned
Maybe a bowler hat I had when I was 15, worn seriously. People laughed at me, but then they wanted to wear it, because it was funny.
The funniest standup I’ve ever seen
Des Clarke. He used to do this thing where he’d stumble over his words. I saw him do a spot at The Stand and I was in hysterics.
The funniest book I’ve ever read
I don’t think I’ve read any comedy books, so I’ll say the story 1922 by Stephen King. A corpse gets its jaw kicked off by a cow.
The funniest heckle I’ve ever had
I was chatting about something on stage, and I heard somebody in the audience say: “So what?” I wasn’t supposed to hear it but it made me laugh inside.
The funniest sketch I’ve ever seen
A Tim & Eric one where they go from talking about old men to this video-editing beatbox thing. Makes no sense unless you see it.
The funniest word
Tragic.
The funniest number
Eight. It looks jolly and up for a laugh.
Limmy is touring his second book, That’s Your Lot, 7 May to 28 June
