The funniest standup I’ve ever seen …
Ellen DeGeneres’s first HBO One Night Stand special blew my mind. The only reason I keep going in comedy is the hope that I will one day write something as good as any of the bits in that show.
The funniest sketch I’ve ever seen …
Anna and Katy’s Congratulation! sketches are some of my favourite ever telly. They were amazing live.
The funniest TV show I’ve ever seen …
In 1992, Granada made The Dead Good Show with Steve Coogan, John Thomson and Caroline Aherne, the funniest person I’ve ever met. It was the most hilarious thing.
The funniest heckle I’ve ever had …
“You look bigger on the telly … and I’ve got a really small telly!”
The funniest meal I’ve ever eaten …
I’m a disaster in the kitchen and have made some legendarily laughable meals. The merest mention of my Quorn risotto makes the kids crease up.
The funniest hairstyle I’ve ever had …
I have a pinhead. I’ve got quite thick hair, so I didn’t realise I had a minuscule head until I got a pixie cut aged 14. In group photos I looked like I was standing miles behind everyone else.
The funniest joke I’ve ever heard …
A woman is walking her dog through a cemetery when she sees a man crouching down behind one of the gravestones. She calls out, “Morning!” and the man replies: “No, just doing a poo.”
