The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Josh Widdicombe

  • Woody Allen’s ‘The Complete Prose’: It’s just the best selection of comic writing by one author. You know it’s good comedy when you get quite demoralised about yourself.
  • I see myself primarily as a comedian, and my aim on the ‘Last Leg’ is to be as funny as I can about the news.
  • I moved to London when I was 21 and I needed a job. I’d just done a year working in Waterstones in Manchester and I was looking for any old job. This advertisement came up for an editorial assistant on Dora the Explorer Magazine. Because I’d been working in the Children’s Department in a bookshop for a year, I just nailed the interview.
  • There are lots of comic bosses and fathers in sitcoms, but the comic landlord remains rare.
  • Looking back at that now I shudder at my naivety: while ‘Men Behaving Badly’ remains a brilliant sitcom, how did I ever aspire to Gary and Tony’s eternal adolescence?
  • Stand-up wasn’t a calling. It was more like, ‘What can I do that isn’t going to make me really depressed?’
  • The owner of one club once interrupted my set to inform me that my taxi had arrived. I don’t think he meant it to sound as cutting as it did.
  • I shrunk my favourite jeans in my first week of university. I’d never done a wash before.
  • Everyone likes doing impressions of me. I’m easy.
  • Nothing unites a group more than a common enemy, be it the Soviet Union or Nasty Nick from ‘Big Brother.’
