Jimmy Carr:
I think I speak for all of us when I say that we’d all prefer to see a pregnant lady stood up on a bus, than a fat lady sat down, crying.
And my favourite ‘live adlib one liner’ was Frank Skinner from years ago. Some lad in the front row is sat there in his jacket and cap, FS asks him if he’s not staying? Lad removes his hat to show his bald head, obviously the effects of cancer treatment. Audience is stunned, until FS replies ‘still, at least you’ve got a free trip to Disneyland to look forward to’. And while the audience was choking with the audacity of it, THAT’S when he actually bent down and off mike apologised for the original comment.
