Jo Brand

Actually, one of the funniest sketches I've ever seen in my life was Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley, pre-Ab Fab. It was the first time Joanna Lumley had ever doen comedy and I just about pee-ed my pants. I've never laughed so much in all my life. Does anyone remember that sketch? I think it was about Jennifer Saunders trying to get Joanna Lumley an acting job to revive her flagging career. Classic! It make everyone realize what a great team they were, and Ab Fab was born. I'd love to see that again but I can't remember what it was called.
