Comedy Q&A: Dai Henwood

Dai Henwood

Why should we see your show?

Table tennis, 1987, cut-offs

Tell us a joke in 25 words or less.

What's the difference between a pick pocket and a peeping Tom? One snatches watches ...

What makes you laugh out loud?

Destiny's Church. The klan with a tan.

What's the worst line you've ever delivered?

Watch out for Hayley Westenra - she can sing but she will drink you under the table. (Someone then stood up, yelled "Hayley is a Kiwi legend". The rest of the crowd basically lynched me).

What keeps you awake at night?

Whatever the kids these days are on.

What were you like as a child?

5 foot 7 and looked like Magnum PI.

When were you last embarrassed and why?

Crying out a lyric from a Beastie Boys song. "If it's going to be that kind of party I am going to ... in the mashed potatoes."

Without looking it up, give us a scientific explanation of laughter:

An involuntary muscle spasm in reaction to shock or stimuli, awesome.

If you weren't a comedian you would be ... ?

A very interesting scenario.
