"I'm trying this act out for a friend. She was too nervous to do it," must be one of the most absurdly funny lines ever uttered on a comedy stage. Caroline just throws it away, but it pops back into your mind hours later, or even years, and you laugh all over again.

She was a genius. I grew up in greater Manchester and the first time I saw the Royale Family I didn't realise it was comedy as my family and everyone else I knew as a kid were identical. Mrs Merton again was a perfect portrayal of my granny and other ladies of that generation from the North West.

@DanielMassey690 7 ай бұрын

One of the funniest women of that, or any generation. She could probably tell these stories for hours! Mrs Merton allowed her to inject more bite into her comedy, and The Royle Family more warmth. Caroline (and Craig Cash, of course, who made both those shows with her) was amazing.
