The funniest standup I’ve ever seen …
Luke McQueen singing. Or Holly Burn really committing to something in front of a bewildered audience. Senseless comedy, but it makes sense.
The funniest sketch I’ve ever seen …
I loved Penny Spubbs and We Are Klang, maybe because I watched them before I started comedy so it was a purer watch. TV sketch – any of Armando Iannucci’s stuff.
The funniest person I know …
My older brother. Sometimes he’s being obtuse and I don’t want to laugh at him but I can’t help it. If I didn’t have him around, I might have been worryingly sincere as I watched too much Home and Away.
The funniest meal I’ve ever eaten …
A cake I made that tasted of oil. That was my third batch of cakes I had made for [comic] Jess Fostekew’s kid’s birthday. She didn’t let him eat any because she values his life.
The funniest dream I’ve ever had …
Once I wanted to sleep with this guy because I’d had the best dream about sleeping with him. I slept with him and was telling my friend about the dream and she reminded me that it was her dream she had told me.
The funniest thing that shouldn’t be funny …
My friend had breast cancer and I came with her to the operation. We were taking funny pictures of her in her gown and goofing about. All things told, it was a great day out.
