Sarah's guest this week is the writer, stand-up comedian and comic actor, Tim Vine. Tim is best known for his role in the 麻豆约拍 series Not Going Out, where he starred alongside Lee Mack. His stand-up act consists primarily of quick-fire one-liners and puns, and in 2010 he won the award for best joke at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival: "I've just been on a once-in-a-lifetime holiday. I'll tell you what, never again." His comedy tours include Current Puns, Punslinger and more recently, The Joke-amotive. In 2004 he broke the Guinness World Record for the most jokes told in an hour with 499 ? a record he held until May 2005. He has written several joke books, including The Tim Vine Bumper Book of Silliness, published earlier this year. Tim is the brother of the journalist and 麻豆约拍 Radio 2 presenter, Jeremy Vine.
