The funniest sketch I’ve ever seen
Matt Lucas as George Dawes in Shooting Stars singing Peanuts. Whenever I’m feeling down I always watch it and, by ’eck, it makes me smile.
The funniest thing that shouldn’t be funny
Watching a video of my mum (while drunk) push my auntie (also drunk) down the stairs outside our house (as a joke) and it was all caught on the household security CCTV. We watch it every Christmas along with the Queen’s speech and The Snowman.
The funniest TV show I’ve ever seen
It has to be The Office. It happened at a time in my life when I was discovering comedy for myself and it’s fair to say Ricky Gervais made a huge impact on my standup, as every review from 2009 to 2011 states.
The funniest heckle I’ve ever had
In 2015, I was performing my show at the fringe and about 25 minutes in a group of lads at the back exited. I asked if they were all together. One guy replied that they were a five-a-side football team. I commented on the fact that there are more than five people leaving, to which the same guy shouted: “Aye, the subs don’t find you funny, either.”
The funniest hairstyle I’ve ever had
At university, I decided to have a mullet. I thought I was going to look cool like a Championship footballer but instead I had the mickey taken out of me for a solid six months.
The funniest dream I’ve ever had
For about two months, I had a dream where Mick Hucknall used to run on the pitch at every Grimsby game. I loved both Mick Hucknall and Grimsby Town. I’m so annoyed it ended.
The funniest word
Bumshallites. It’s a word my mum made up on the spot when she reacted to hearing about a friend’s death but didn’t want to swear. Me and my sister use it constantly.
The funniest joke I’ve ever heard
Lee Mack is one of my favourite comedians; this joke gets me every time: “I remember the last thing my nan said to me before she died: ‘What are you doing here with that hammer?’”
