0:09.0	So last week we went on our grand adventure to find the funniest joke in the world.
0:15.0	And as part of that quest, I interviewed comedian Tignetaro,
0:18.0	who has just released her fifth comedy special, which is called Hello again. And Tigg and I had such a silly and
0:25.3	lovely conversation that we just thought we'd share the whole thing with you.
0:29.5	Tigg and I talked about how excited she was when she first realized that being a comic was a profession,
0:37.6	she told me how she builds her jokes, which honestly was not what I expected at all from a professional comic and of course we shared a bunch of
0:46.8	fabulous and really stupid jokes so I really hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I enjoyed chatting to TIG.
0:56.7	There's going to be a couple of spoilers in this interview by the way, so if you haven't listened
