Description

The king of the one-liner, comedian Tim Vine, joins Dr. Hilary for a brilliantly conversation—filled with reflections on life on the comedy circuit, writing jokes, and finding lightness in even the heaviest moments.

From his world-record-breaking joke streak to his Elvis tribute act Plastic Elvis, and his love of the move, Jaws, Tim offers insights into health, happiness, and finding laughter in everyday moments.

Together, they explore:

  • Why Tim avoids stress and finds joy in simple things (like garden sprinklers)
  • Childhood comedy inspirations and being raised on Bilko and Cooper
  • The surprising connection between humour and health
  • Why dessert makes Tim dangerously sleepy — and what Dr. Hilary has to say about that
  • And the eternal truth: you can remove a spleen, but never take away a good pun
