Gary Delaney interview

Comedian and writer Gary Delaney - constantly dishing out reliably brilliant one-liners - first took his show Purist to Edinburgh in 2010. He's just started the final leg of its tour - a show now with the best gags harvested from two four and five-star reviewed shows. He answered questions on Twitter, touring and telling jokes before he set out with again with Purist.

In time for the low-hanging comedic fruit of England's World Cup campaign, a return for the standard mix of mock-incredulity at everyday minutiae, repeated plunges into well-thumbed stand-up routines and hefty helpings of "epic" banter. This second episode of this new series has series mainstays Dara O'Briain, Hugh Dennis and Andy Parsons being joined by Rob Beckett, Gary Delaney, Josh Widdicombe and Sara Pascoe, the last possibly pressured to prove she's there on merit rather than due to a dictum from the BBC Trust.

Opinion: Marriages made in comedy heaven

It must be a laugh-a-minute in their house. That was the inevitable first thought when I heard yesterday that Sarah Millican and Gary Delaney had tied the knot.
