Deadpan style

Milton, well-known for his Hawaiian shirts, was a regular panellist on TV’s Mock of the Week.
He has also had various shows on BBC Radio 4 and won the Perrier comedy award for best newcomer in 1996.
His style of humour is based on one-liners involving puns delivered in a deadpan and slightly neurotic style.
He and Jimmy first became friends after performing on the same bill at the Edinburgh Festival in the late 1990s.
The pair have stayed in touch ever since.
