The funniest thingStageTiff Stevenson: 'I looked like a giant tampon'
The standup and actor spills the beans on the things that make her laugh the most, from Wanda Sykes to magic mushrooms
The funniest standup I’ve ever seen ...
White People Are Looking – Wanda Sykes’s bit on being black after Obama got in – is pretty transcendental.
The funniest sketch I’ve ever seen ...
Pretty much everything Kristen Wiig did on Saturday Night Live is a win. There is a sketch where she plays an actor called Lizette Barnes from Classy Faces Talent Agency. Before she even does a word of the script she starts reeling off what she will and won’t do. Also, Triangle Sally every day for ever.
The funniest person I know ...
My fiance makes me laugh every day but without trying so it means more. I can’t name a comedian because all of them will be annoyed I didn’t pick them.
The funniest item of clothing I’ve ever owned ...
I once owned a white, skintight catsuit, which I wore with white knee-high boots. I looked like a giant tampon.
The funniest meal I’ve ever eaten ...
Magic mushrooms.
The funniest hairstyle I’ve ever had ...
A mullet, and my mum used to maintain the cut. I was hipster before it was fashionable.
The funniest thing that shouldn’t be funny ...
Cats’ little teeth. You know the ones between the fangs. Stupid cats.
The funniest word ...
Menagerie.
The funniest joke I’ve ever heard ...
Unprintable and it involves your mum.
Tiff Stevenson plays Brighton, Saturday 14; Sudbury, Thursday 19 April; touring to 26 May
