What makes you laugh?
Being Canadian, I grew up with a love of dry British humor. For instance, I really love the boys of Monty Python in all of their incarnations. From the original sketch show right through to the movies and songs.
I’m a huge fan of John Cleese on screen. Fawlty Towers is still one of my favorite TV shows to watch. In the movie A Fish Called Wanda, he was truly brilliant . I met him briefly a few years ago, and he was the embodiment of the phrase, “Don’t meet your heroes “
Eric Idle,on the other hand, could not have been nicer to us commoners . He’s truly a sweet and funny man.
Humor is so important to me that I finally married an extremely funny British man who makes me laugh almost every day with a goofy face or a silly walk or his cleverly humorous take on a situation.
Us Canadians are well known for our self-deprecating sense of humor, and it keeps us grounded. People like Mike Meyers and Dave Foley and Catherine O’Hara have been a few of my favorites over the years. More currently, I also really enjoy Seth Rogen’s sense of humor. And Ron James cracks me up. But my all-time favorite Canadian comedian is the late great Norm Macdonald talk about a dry wit.
