Back when I used to do terrifying, doomed open spots at the London ComedyStore’s late show, bombing every time, Noel James would spend an hour in the back room, painting the entire top half of his body blue. Then he’d come out at 2am in front of this room of horrible shouting drunks and say: “I’m a blue comedian.” Sometimes it would bring the house...
The Two Ronnies’ Four candles. The writing, performances, anticipation for every line and the way they just take their time are incredible. Amazing to watch something from 45 years ago and still feel the audience going crazy for it. At both Ronnies’ memorial services, there were four lit candles instead of the usual two. Beautiful.
What We Do in the Shadows. Not only do I laugh more every time I watch it, I care about all the characters and their relationships. I mean, who cries at the murder of an evil, 8,000-year old vampire?
Jez Simmonds. His reactions to my attempts at humour – disappointed confusion bordering on disgust, but then running much further with the joke, just destroys me. We were once watching an old PG Tips “chimps” ad. Jez said “Did you know Charles Manson once auditioned for the Monkees?”. I thought he meant the chimps in the advert, not the band. His a...
At Malcolm Hardee’s Tunnel Palladium, the hecklers were legendary. They’d shout “Burn the witch” and “Your cab’s arrived”. When I “played” there, I didn’t even get to say my first line. Years after I quit, I’d wake up in the night sweating, thinking I was back there.
When I was working on chemical tankers in the merchant navy, the officers would make me put on a massive, air-filled, protective suit with gloves and boots sewn into it. It was made for a giant; I’m small and would basically float around inside the suit like a confused foetus, trying to pick up spanners and operate a walkie-talkie.
When I was a teenager eating Sunday lunch with my family in Cardiff, my younger brother Karl once made me laugh so much I ended up with mashed potato and gravy coming out through my nostrils.
Unfortunately, the one on my wedding day. I was busy in the run-up to the big day and forgot to get it cut. I can’t pull off big hair like Russell Brand or Robert Plant – I look like a failed Jacobean fop. I’ll take to the grave how ridiculous I look in our wedding photos. Sorry, Sarah.
I once dreamed I was being terrorised by a giant howling devil. Each time it was about to kill me it would get distracted by tall, teetering towers of burger boxes that it would angrily knock over, giving me precious time to escape. I don’t know why, but I woke up crying with laughter.
As an altar boy, I was doing a funeral. A guy came in, pointed at the coffin, shouted: “Who’s in there?” and tried to prise it open with a crowbar. It was my first experience of being doubled up with forbidden laughter. The mourners’ horror just made it worse.
