Old radio comedy makes me laugh, as well as 'I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue' and comedians like Paul Merton.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My comedy is for children from three to 93. You do need a slightly childish sense of humour and if you haven't got that, it's very sad.
I'm such a comedy fan that I just love laughing and so admire comedians who have brought me joy.
When I watch a comedy that's just hitting you over the head with jokes constantly, some really hit, but if they miss, you're like, 'Eh.'
I have an aversion to laugh tracks - the moment I hear a laugh track, I go to another channel.
I think we grew up thinking that the funniest things on TV were the old, serious movies. I always liked the Marx Brothers, but the thing that always made us laugh were movies like Zero Hour. That's what inspired us.
It's safe to say I'm a comedy nerd. I listen to so many podcasts. I just love to laugh.
The greatest comedian I've ever seen is Jack Benny. He wasn't afraid of the silences.
I'm always trying to find the next comedian that just gives me something a little funny to combine with all of the depressing news that I'm processing.
When I hit the scene, there was Billy Connolly and Max Boyce. It was all mother-in-law and Irish jokes, and we broke the mould. Now there are thousands of comedians out there, and I don't think I can be above it all.
Situation comedies are old-fashioned - they stick to formulas. I resent their music which is old fashioned. I resent the use of a laugh track.
