Shappi Khorsandi. Intelligent, funny and she looks damn fine too.
I just had to resurrect this nomination, as she has been on the television tonight ( a repeat of 'Live at the Apollo' ) and she appealed on many levels. I enjoyed the routine - and thought she looked 'real world' lovely. :)
She was on "This Week" last Thursday too.
I like your "'real world' lovely" description. These perfect young actresses and models are all fine and dandy, but the likes of us lot are never going to meet anyone like that - and even if we did, they'd look down their surgically-enhanced noses at us. Let's accept and embrace the real world! :)
Off-topic, but I've been thinking recently that stand-up comedy is one of the few branches of the performing arts where you can't succeed on looks alone. You can be a hugely successful actor, presenter - even musician - with not one iota of talent, so long as you look good. But stand-ups have to do it the hard way, writing their own material and winning over hostile audiences.... and to look at, most of them are ordinary to downright ugly. It's all about talent, and all the better for it.
