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.
