Who would be in your Showbiz Gang?

We all have dreams of making it big in 'ennertainment' as critically acclaimed and commercially successful comdey writers. So once you make it big, who would be in your super great showbiz gang?

Would you team up with Russell Brand and David Walliams to have coke and bumming parties round Johnny Ross' house?

Or would there be a double page spread in the News of the World of you vomitting on the back on Lily Allen's head in a nightclub?

Maybe you have visions of sitting in the Groucho Club with Stephen Fry and Stewart Lee pretending to be all clever.

You may choose 3 people to be in your Showbiz Gang. Choose now!

For me, it would just be the other Slaggs or a few people from here. Why? Because they'd all have to come to my house and put up with my miserable tea making abilities coz I don't do 'out'. At least not very well.

I'll bring cake.

Dr David Starkey, The Chuckle Brothers and Rustie Lee.

"Out"? What's that? Errr

I'd pick Bill Bailey, Rich Hall and ummm... Reginald D Hunter! And we'd smoke a few smokes and talk bollocks.

You can't choose people you already know, that's not fair.

My choices are Liza Tarbuck, Lee Dixon and Vicky Coren.

I'm working on the presumption that you've made it big in comedy and that you are now living in a swanky part of London with Noel Gallagher as a neighbour and shit.

You probably have some Estonian teenager making your tea for you. So with a gun pointed to your head and the decree 'socially interact or else', who would be the three other members of your showbiz gang?

Hugh Scully, formerly of Antiques Roadshow. He has a face that looks like it would look the same upside down as the right way up.

I don't think I'd have celeb friends. I'm not cool enough plus I wouldn't want the publicity :(.

It would be great if Starkey had dinners round Rustie Lee's house.

Stephen Fry, Kylie and the ghost of Ronnie Barker.

And you would be putting this to the test?

So you wouldn't want to go to the pub with David Mitchell, David Tennant or Noel Fielding?

I would make him do handstands.

Derek Batey from the old Mr & Mrs. He seems like a right laugh.

I know that one would be David Dickinson, because I could wear whatever I wanted and nobody would be judging my clothes.

The first maybe but not the other two.

They belong to Zooo.
