Paul Whitehouse is being praised for making the funniest joke of the night
at the British Comedy Awards after bringing a fake signer on the stage.
I brought my signer with me.
(laughter)
That's the topical gag.
You missed it.
I did it first. I might do it again later.
(laughter)
We did just think it out on the steps on the way up, alright?
(laughter)
Thank you very much. It was a real surprise, believe me.
(laughter)
It is a genuine surprise to get this, but this is so much fun!
(laughter)
No, really, we can't top this, can we? So thank you very much.
Thank you, [inaudible].
Thanks to [inaudible], thanks to [inaudible], and thanks to W!
The joke was made after deaf viewers complained that the man signing
at Nelson Mandela's memorial didn't make sense!
Paul was collecting the award for Best Sketch Show when he made the joke.
