Paul Whitehouse's 'fake signer' in British Comedy Awards acceptance speech

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.
