Q&A with Paul Tonkinson
Comedian Paul Tonkinson can make anyone laugh. Corporate hunchos, soldiers, Singaporeans and the average Brit all chuckle at Tonkinson's talent for his take on the difference between the sexes and his ability to take the mickey out of almost every region in Britain and further afield.
What's the most fun you've had when you least expected it?
I mopped the kitchen floor for the first time in years a few days ago and found it extremely satisfying.
What item of clothing from your childhood do you wish you could still
squeeze into?
I remember an acrylic T-shirt with a Spiderman cartoon on it – supercool!
What's the furthest you've ever been from home?
Geographically, probably the Falkland Islands. In the sense of feeling totally lost and without spiritual, mental or physical bearings, I once found myself in Sidcup.
When was the last time you laughed out loud?
I laugh out loud on a daily basis.
Have you ever been turned on by something surprising?
At the age of 15 I was physically aroused by a sofa.
Are you allergic to anything?
No physical allergies discovered, but I get very seasick.
When was the last time you were seriously embarrassed?
I came fourth out of seven in the parents' race at my lad's school sports day.
How do you cope on long plane journeys?
I actually really enjoy the peace of them. Watch a movie, bit of red wine and a good book.
What's the oddest thing you've ever eaten?
Chocolate spiders. Very moreish.
Do you have any strange, recurring dreams?
When I'm in a good mood I have very vivid flying dreams. I just jump up and I'm off!
Do you have any absurd hobbies?
I enjoy my own company.
Do you have any tattoos?
I would not wish to besmirch my own body with a needle.
If you were a microwave meal, what would you be?
I find it hard to imagine any circumstance in which I would be a microwave meal. Oh go on then – chicken rogan!
Best road trip you ever went on?
Had a week driving round northern Sicily this year with the family Tonks. Amazing.
When was the last time you cried?
Since having kids I cry easier. I actually shed a tear in front of X Factor recently. Try not to judge.
What's the craziest thing you've ever smoked?
Rabbit poo.
Describe the underwear you're wearing in one word (colours don't count).
Foisty.
Leave me alone.
