The funniest sketch I’ve ever seen …
I’m a big fan of Key & Peele. The first sketch of theirs I saw was the Substitute Teacher and I still love that.
The funniest TV show I’ve ever seen …
Alan Partridge is the funniest TV I’ve seen. The I’m Alan Partridge series from the 90s in particular.
The funniest film I’ve ever seen …
Withnail & I. It’s just so quotable and brilliant. I watch it probably three times a year and it holds up every time. Richard E Grant is my hero.
The funniest heckle I’ve ever had …
I was trying some new material and I told this story, to which a lady shouted: “I don’t believe that happened.” It really threw me. She was right, too.
The funniest meal I’ve ever eaten …
Any time I have dinner at my grandma’s house, to be honest. She really is the worst cook in the world. It’s hilarious. She wouldn’t mind me saying that – she doesn’t care at all.
The funniest thing that shouldn’t be funny …
Any of those fly-on-the-wall airport border-control TV shows. Particularly the Australian ones.
The funniest word …
I like “snazzy”. I’m making a real effort to bring it back this year.
The funniest joke I’ve ever heard …
I’m a big fan of Mark Simmons. He’s got loads of great jokes so here’s one of his: combine harvesters … and you’ll have a really big restaurant.
