Will Hislop: ‘I did a comedy song called I’m a Sexy Guy at a wedding’ | Comedy
[ad_1]
The funniest sketch I’ve ever seen …
Anything with Key and Peele. All of Michelle Gomez’s Green Wing scenes. There’s an Ellie and Natasia sketch where they throw bits of chicken around a kitchen – that ticks a lot of my comedy boxes, too.
The funniest book I’ve ever read …
Christopher Bliss’s A Murder and a Robbery at the Same Time on the Train from London to Shropshire.
The funniest film I’ve ever seen …
The Court Jester – I love that era of massive-budget Hollywood films. A single scene will have a thousand extras, hundreds of horses, a giant castle: all there to make a pun even funnier. Beautiful.
The funniest heckle I’ve ever had …
I played at a wedding where there had been a miscommunication that I was a musician instead of a musical comedian. I did a comedy song called I’m a Sexy Guy as the bride and groom left the church. The mother of the bride ran over and said: “Please, please stop.”
The funniest meal I’ve ever eaten …
Whenever I cook for people I get worried about giving them food poisoning so I blitz stuff until it looks like coal. Probably much worse for them in the long run.
The funniest item of clothing I’ve ever owned …
I used to wear V-neck T shirts when I was 15 with a very deep, very gorgeous V.
The funniest hairstyle I’ve ever had …
In lockdown, my sides have grown nice and long. I look like a 00s YouTuber.
The funniest dream I’ve ever had …
Last week I dreamed that I bought a Cameo birthday video from Gareth Gates. When I opened it, it was a Gareth Gates lookalike. I tried to get my money back and they said I couldn’t prove it wasn’t Gareth Gates. To apologise they offered me a message from Gareth Gates.
The funniest thing that shouldn’t be funny …
Older relatives using “lol” to mean “lots of love”. “Your uncle Paul’s passed away Will, I’m so sorry lol.”
