The funniest TV show I’ve ever seen …
The Two Ronnies. I love Ronnie Corbett, especially; he was one of the best ever. Whenever I tell people that, nobody expects it. But he embodies funny. To be OK with being short takes a lot of confidence.
The funniest film I’ve ever seen …
See No Evil, Hear No Evil with Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder, or Pineapple Express.
The funniest person I know …
One of my dad’s mates called Sport Billy. He made a joke about KitKats when we were on holiday when I was about 10. It made me laugh for years. What was the joke? It’s not bad but it doesn’t track very well.
The funniest item of clothing I’ve ever owned …
All my clothes were dripping. But there was a month where I went through a real Ed Hardy phase – skulls and rhinestones. I also made a tour T-shirt using a photo of me vaping the universe.
The funniest meal I’ve eaten …
One time my grandma tried to give me a Jamaican patty with mash because she thought it was a Cornish pasty. It was horrible. She’s going to cry when she reads this.
The funniest dream I’ve ever had …
I don’t dream. It’s a bit overrated, to be honest.
The funniest thing that shouldn’t be funny …
I don’t think farts should be as funny as they are. It’s just releasing gasses. But some of my hardest laughs have been about that.
The funniest joke I’ve ever heard …
Gary Delaney: “Filled the escort with diesel. She died.” Gary’s economy with words is incredible.
