The funniest standup I’ve ever seen …
Lazy Susan are brilliant, John Kearns is sublime and I will always love anything Adam Riches does on a stage.
The funniest sketch I’ve ever seen …
Acorn Antiques. I cry laughing at a bit where Victoria Wood upskirts herself.
The funniest heckle I’ve ever had …
I once started telling a joke about a blacksmith and the moment I began a man booed me. He wasn’t a blacksmith. He couldn’t explain why he had booed the concept of a blacksmith.
The funniest item of clothing I’ve ever owned …
I bought a giant banana costume for my Edinburgh show last year and cut the joke about the banana, so when it arrived it looked really apologetic.
The funniest meal I’ve ever eaten …
At university, someone told me dried fruit rehydrates if you drink water afterwards. To disprove it, I ate 500g of raisins, drank a litre of water and threw up on myself. Is sick funny?
The funniest dream I’ve ever had …
During my GCSEs, I dreamed I was trying to find Christian Bale in various scenarios – forest, apocalyptic dystopia, barbecue – because he was lost and I could sense he was really afraid.
The funniest word …
Arse. When I was little I couldn’t cope with the fact there was a football team called Arsenal. I just didn’t understand how grownups had let that happen.
