Answered by: Jimmy McGhie

Can you  give us a tweet-length summary of your show? Three fantastic international comedians perform a relay of utterly splendid hilarity.

What was the last thing you couldn’t stop laughing at? My own misery. Sometimes things get so bad, you transcend your depression and just start laughing.

What’s your favourite comedy film and why? I have a soft spot for Major League, the 1989 baseball classic starring Charlie Sheen. We just watched it again on tour and have been quoting it ever since.

What happened the last time you were heckled? The interruption sucked all of the momentum out of the room. You get less proper heckling these days, nowadays it’s just gormless morons fiddling with their phones and talking.

What profession do you think would provide the best comic material? Quite a lot of comedians come from the medical profession. I guess to deal with such darkness you need to have a fairly robust sense of humour.
