Peter White (II)

The quartet of R4 presenters - Evan Davis, Libby Purves, Peter White and Laurie Taylor - who walked the comedy plank for Red Nose Day in Stand-Up For Comic Relief didn't exactly bring the house down.

In the video on the R4 website, Davies looked so far out of his comfort zone one could hardly bear to watch, while 73-year-old Taylor, a more natural humourist, seemed quite at home pacing the stage, cracking jokes. However it was White who had the edge by virtue of his comedian's voice and his lack of inhibition about doing disability jokes. Who else but a blind person would dare do jokes about being blind? The public voted him the winner by a wide margin.
