Comedy shows: questions and Band 8 answers

Yes, fairly often. I usually put on a sitcom in the evenings after a stressful day at work just to unwind. My flatmate and I tend to binge-watch a couple of episodes before dinner, and it really helps take my mind off things.

I'm a big fan of dry humour and satire, to be honest. I enjoy shows where the jokes are quite subtle and witty rather than over-the-top slapstick. There's a brilliant political satire series I've been following lately that always makes me chuckle.

Definitely with other people. Laughter is contagious, so I find things much funnier when I'm sharing the moment with friends or family. We often have weekend film nights in the living room, and hearing everyone else giggle just makes the whole experience better.

Oh, absolutely. I used to be obsessed with animated cartoons on Saturday mornings. They were full of silly physical comedy and absurd sound effects, and my younger brother and I would sit glued to the telly for hours on end.

I'd love to, actually. I've never been to a proper stand-up night, but a friend recently went to a local theatre in town and said the atmosphere was electric. I reckon it'd be brilliant to see someone improvise on stage right in front of you.
