Paul Whitehouse

Whitehouse is, to me, a comedian's comedian. What strikes me most is his range on The Fast Show, conjuring an entire roster of vivid characters who lived only as long as a sketch. I admire how his collaborations, especially the enduring partnership with Harry Enfield, do the talking. Longevity in comedy alongside the same partner is rare and telling. He chose craft over celebrity, and I respect performers who let the laughter, not the limelight, define them.
