The funniest standup I’ve ever seen …
Going to standup was very much an occasion back in the early to mid 80s. There weren’t many clubs and it wasn’t a regular social outing. Seeing Billy Connolly at the Hammersmith Odeon was the most perfect few hours of hilarious storytelling I had ever seen.
The funniest item of clothing I’ve ever owned …
I still have a pair of trousers with a baboon’s arse sewn into them. It was for a TV show. One day I will be thankful that I begged to keep them.
The funniest hairstyle I’ve ever had …
A bleached blond flat top in about ’87 at college. I’ve not owned my own barnet since the early 00s so I’ve only really had the ability to craft a “style” in a 15-year window.
The funniest meal I’ve ever eaten …
On my stag trip to Estonia back before my first marriage in 2001, in a medieval-themed restaurant. The combination of tiredness, hangovers and the odd atmosphere made it memorable. There was a strange boy-like man playing the recorder who wouldn’t stop looking at us.
The funniest thing that shouldn’t be funny …
My financial situation. I’ve had some money then not, through all sorts of reasons. When the chips are down I still manage to laugh about it.
The funniest heckle I’ve ever had …
“Why is that your face?” Very little you can come back with if that is thrown at you.
