The Laughing Bag
They make you laugh; we make them squeal. This fortnight, Scotswoman
abroad Marian Kilpatrick.
Square sausage or round?
As far as I'm concerned they're both a distasteful amalgam of brain, spinal cord and swept-up sawdust.
Cream cakes or chocolate biscuits? Oooh cakes! Nothing like a nice cream horn of an afternoon.
When was the first time you were funny in public?
In Primary Two, when I was playing Mary in the school Natiwty play. For a laugh I punched the infant Jesus, thinking the teacher wasn’t looking. She was and I was swiftly demoted to 23rd Shepherd. Everyone did laugh though.
Which politician makes you laugh the most?
Peter Mandelson. What's he hiding? What's the best day-job you've ever had?
In the cream horn factory.
And the worst?
In the sausage factory.
What gives you road rage?
Not haVing a car.
What's your most unappealing personal habit?
Having no sense of shame
You're a redhead with an Irish name. What special privileges does that grant you?
At any moment, I could be called up to play in the Republic of Ireland football
team.
You're a Scotswoman living in London. What special privileges does that grant
you?
I'm always the hardest person at any sooal gathering What's the secret to enjoying life in the big city?
Shed-loads of money and a good map.
Which TV personality would we all be better off without?
Oh, so many and Ainsley Harriot.
but for a kick-off Noel Edmonds, Ulrika Jonsson, Jerry Springer
Which musician or band should be starved of the oxygen of airplay?
The Lighthouse Family.
Which living person do you most admire, and why?
Mr Kipling, for sen/ices to cakes.
If Bill Clinton invited you into the Oval Office, how would you reply?
Yes please, so long as I can bring my mum
Who deserves an award for services to Scottish comedy?
Phil Kay and Hibernian Football Club.
And finally . . . why should we come to see your show? It's somewhere nice and warm to go on a cold November night and we’ll have a
laugh. (Compiled by Andiew Burnet)
