Thanks so much for compiling and posting this absolute gem. Paul Whitehouse is quite simply an acting genius, and far from given the acknowledgment that he deserves. Brilliant. And I’d forgotten the ‘pierced labia’ quip. I almost lost my dinner. Quite outstanding comedy.

The ‘beautiful woman’ sketch gets me every time. I cry at its brilliant poignancy.

[@graemem111]

That stare to camera? Wow

[@milesfinch]

Such a simple but powerful character and performance. Mr Whitehouse can really pull it out of the hat when you least expect it.

Gorgeus!! My friend introduced me to this genius some twenty years back, of what else happened I'll not tell because I was very, very drunk..

[@stephenholmes1036]

A very good actor

[@Zerina-i6m]

Inverted snobs hated this back in the day but this dude is utterly hilarious and on point. There's one of these characters in every university, (private) school and UK neighborhood....

1:55 1:55 1:55 1:56 1:56 2:02 2:02 2:04 2:04 2:05 along with Catherine tate portrayal of Nan Taylor this always gives me light relief

PAUL is an unsung comedian plays a drunk VERY VERY WELL that takes YEARS of observation without being VERY VERY DRUNK HIMSELF. the only other i know who is better is BILLY CONNELY just a little better,.

[@onelife7247]

You’re right on both counts. He’s brilliant yes, and once you’ve observed enough drunks; it is actually quite easy to “play drunk” when you’re completely sober. You can find out all sorts of things when people think you’re drunk / stupid 🤫
