Judi Love: ‘I once owned multicoloured dungarees. Why would I do that to myself?’ | Comedy

The funniest sketch I’ve ever seen …

It’s probably a video of an Irish family who had a bat in the house. The son is shouting: “Get it out!” His mum is hiding behind a glass door and you can see her standing so still. Then the dog gets scared and wets the floor. You’d think it was a sketch, but it’s real.

The funniest TV show I’ve ever seen …

Desmond’s. I watched it growing up and even now with my kids. Desmond reminded me of my mum. He’s also so expressive in his face and his voice, and really light on his feet; it’s a dramatised kind of physical comedy.

The funniest person I know …

My friend Natasha. She makes funny noises like Cardi B, but it’s her own thing. It’s how she drags out a word: “Mmmmmmm-mmm-oney.” She isn’t in showbiz but she should be.

The funniest heckle I’ve ever had …

“My size!”, which is a [common] term if you’re a big girl, but I like it. My response? I said: “But do you really think you could manage? Do you want to come and pick me up?”

The funniest item of clothing I’ve ever owned …

Dungarees. Why would I do that to myself? They were multicoloured. I blame Kris Kross and all the rest of it.

The funniest meal I’ve ever eaten …

Rabbit. I could feel it bouncing on my tongue.

The funniest hairstyle I’ve ever had …

I had a weave that was really bad. Too dramatic. I literally took it out when I got home. Had to pretend to like it at the hairdresser’s.

The funniest thing that shouldn’t be funny …

I fell down a pothole. Or the time I choked on a piece of meat at a wedding. I thought I was going to die. I properly saw my life flash before my eyes. I had all the aunties in the kitchen looking at me. Why didn’t they help me? I didn’t speak to anyone for a week.

The funniest word …

Boogie.
