The funniest standup I’ve ever seen
Fin Taylor is my favourite recent watch. He pokes and prods at the parts of the liberal left and staunch right that need poking. He’s a man in the middle, masquerading as someone who is extreme in his views. He says things I think but don’t have the guts to say.
The funniest sketch I’ve ever seen
The sketches within the Mr Bean TV show were all good. If I had to pick one it would be the scene on the plane with the kid and the vomit bag. I still stick bits of paper to my eyelids and tongue to get a laugh out of kids.
The funniest book I’ve ever rea
Danny Dyer’s book is hilarious. I gave mine to my clever mate Tim, and he’s loving it, too.
The funniest TV show I’ve ever seen
The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer left me knackered from laughing so much at the end of each show. It took a while to recover. Alan Partridge also never fails.
The funniest film I’ve ever seen
It’s a toss-up between Wayne’s World or Blazing Saddles. I saw Wayne’s World again last week and realised how much of an influence that has been on me.
The funniest person I know
My son. He’s four, and I know people bang on about their kids but he’s got the skills. It’s really annoying.
The funniest item of clothing I’ve ever owned
My white tights I wear for the live shows are good. You can see my winkle a little bit and that always gets a laugh on my entrance.
The funniest hairstyle I’ve ever had
I had long hair and dyed it red for a New Year’s Eve party. By the middle of January, it had faded out to pink. I didn’t look in the mirror much then and only found out how bad it was when a toddler started shouting about it on a bus to his mum.
The funniest dream I’ve ever had
I’ve never had a funny dream. All nightmares. I’ve never told anyone this before. Now seems as good a time as any.
