The funniest standup I’ve ever seen …
I’ve come to think of my existence as BC and AD in terms of when I saw Kate Berlant’s standup for the first time.
The funniest book I’ve ever read …
This sounds like a fake answer and I’d hate anyone that said it, but here we are! The Bell Jar is actually so funny! *Everyone immediately stops their donations to the Guardian*
The funniest person I know …
My friends Becca and Lily. They’re not comedians, which must be very quaint. When they joke, it’s not because their entire self-esteem and careers rely on it.
The funniest item of clothing I’ve ever owned …
As a very meek 13-year-old, I was given a T-shirt that said “Lead, follow or get the fuck out of here”, which I wore with fake Oakley sunglasses. I was determined to be a professional surfer; determined to not let the fact I’d never surfed before get in the way.
The funniest meal I’ve ever eaten …
Filling up on bread in a restaurant is my star sign, so most meals are spent with me talking in detail about how bloated I am.
The funniest hairstyle I’ve ever had …
The only thing intersectional about me at university was my fringe. It was in three distinct sections. I cut it myself, sure, but never washed it myself. Now that’s amore!
The funniest thing that shouldn’t be funny …
Crowdfunding videos for small theatre productions is my utopia.
