Article Abstract:

Comedian Spike Milligan believes that his sense of humour has always been abstract. He attributes this to the fact that he has Irish ancestry. Among contemporary comedians, he admires Eddie Izard and Harry Enfield. He regards 'The Goon Show' as the crowning achievement of his career, and feels that it had a very significant impact on the nature of comedy internationally. He does not regard himself as Irish, but for legal reasons has an Irish passport.

Article Abstract:

Comedian Michael Pennington believes that all the physical features of Johnny Vegas, his comic persona, are based on himself. However, he emphasizes that his own childhood was actually very happy, in contrast with the childhood he presents for Johnny Vegas. He acknowledges that many comedians actually suffer from depression and that they can often be self-centred and sarcastic. He feels that he cannot stop himself being an entertainer.

Article Abstract:

Comedian Harry Hill recalls that he was anxious before his first stand-up comedy experience, but that the act went well, even though he forgot a lot of it. He trained as a doctor, but left the medical profession because he felt that it did not really suit him. The people and television programmes he is amused by include 'You've Been Framed,' Ronnie Corbett, 'Alright on the Night,' Sean Lock and Stewart Lee.
