Am I funny — who knows, says Cleese

WHEN John Cleese’s new comedy was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 this month, it failed to impress. Now the 77-year-old admits he can’t tell if his work is funny. ‘In my experience, you still never know what’s funny. I mean, I think I’m unlikely to produce something completely unfunny, but I really can’t tell sometimes whether it’s going to be hugely funny or reasonably funny. And that continues to this day.’
