The funniest standup I’ve ever seen …
You either love him or hate him, but the Adam Sandler comedy special on Netflix is hilarious. It has made me want to push the boundaries of traditional standup a bit more.
The funniest book I’ve ever read …
My maths handbook in school. All I could really do was laugh.
The funniest TV show I’ve ever seen …
The Afrikaans channels in South Africa do reality TV very well. I once watched an Afrikaans version of Come Dine With Me and nearly died from laughter.
The funniest film I’ve ever seen …
I probably quote Anchorman on a daily basis.
The funniest person I know …
It has to be my mother. Not as in the way a comedian is funny. More like a super cringe “posting photos of her garden on Facebook” kind of funny.
The funniest heckle I’ve ever had …
Once a dog barked at me during my set.
The funniest item of clothing I’ve ever owned …
Everyone always laughs when I wear a Speedo, but I don’t find it funny at all. I think I look great.
The funniest hairstyle I’ve ever had …
I played a villain in a Shakespeare play and had to shave the sides and leave a little patch at the top. As if my moustache doesn’t make me look creepy enough.
The funniest dream I’ve ever had …
I mostly have anxiety-filled nightmares, so trying to pick the funniest one would be like picking the funniest of all the scary clowns.
The funniest thing that shouldn’t be funny …
A dog with sunglasses on. Why is it funny? It shouldn’t be. It’s just a dog with sunglasses on. Yet it’s hilarious.
The funniest number …
8888888.
The funniest word …
Brexit.
