Growing up, I watched shows such as 'Blackadder' and 'Monty Python' with my parents.

There's a reason people love watching blooper reels of actors falling about laughing.

When I watch comedy I love to see that pleasure in the performer's eye and that sense of cheek - and even those moments when you can see someone is trying not to laugh.

I think we all have a similar philosophy about comedy and comic performance which is that it's at its best when you can see the pleasure the performer has, when you can see a glimmer in the eye.

Growing up, I watched shows such as 'Blackadder' and 'Monty Python' with my parents.

It's so infectious to watch people having fun.

I always performed as a kid to make my family laugh and was more concerned with making kids at school laugh than I was about the lessons.
