The funniest standup I’ve ever seen
I don’t go out of my way to see standup but I caught Micky Flanagan’s set on TV a while back which made me laugh.
The funniest sketch I’ve ever seen
That’s a toughie. Big Train, The Fast Show and Brass Eye have provided some gold over the years but I’d gladly watch The Two Ronnies’ Fork Handles sketch on loop.
The funniest TV show I’ve ever seen
For a show that I can rewatch time and time again it would have to be Curb Your Enthusiasm.
The funniest film I’ve ever seen
Airplane!, Dumb and Dumber and Fletch all made me howl but There’s Something About Mary is the one that stands out just for the fact that if it’s ever on telly I’ll happily sit and watch it again.
The funniest person I know
If it’s someone in the industry, then it’d be Keith Lemon, Peter Kay and Jonny Wilkes. Whenever I’m with any of them, we always have a good laugh.
The funniest heckle I’ve ever had
It was a crossed-wires heckle. Some bloke shouted: “I love you.” I didn’t hear him properly and replied: “Fuck you!” To which the audience took great pleasure.
The funniest item of clothing I’ve ever owned
That’s easy. I used to own a pair of black, silk boxer shorts. Form a queue, ladies.
The funniest meal I’ve ever eaten
Frogs’ legs. What’s all that about?
The funniest hairstyle I’ve ever had
In the early 90s I rocked a tight perm for a month or so. Even the word “perm” elicits a laugh.
The funniest dream I’ve ever had
I laugh quite a bit in my sleep but I can never remember why.
The funniest thing that shouldn’t be funny
Old folk and technology.
The funniest word
Trump.
The funniest joke I’ve ever heard
All the really funny jokes are definitely not for a family paper.
Take Me Out starts 6 January, 7pm, ITV
