WTF: Weekly Trivia File

• Chris Ramsey made headlines across the world when he harnessed the power of Twitter to get a pizza delivered to him on a moving train between London and Newcastle a couple of years back. Well, this week the stand-up tried it again – but this time getting a curry for himself and fellow comic Ellie Taylor delivered to his carriage as it pulled into Newark.


However it's not known what fellow passengers might have thought about the smelly food, as Ramsey noted at the start of his quest: 'Everyone on the train is going to hate me if I get a curry delivered to it. Don't know if I can put them through it.'

• Kevin Hart says his 11-year-old daughter Heaven wants to be a comedian – but he's not letting her follow her aspirations for a few years yet. 'It's not going to happen,' he said. 'My daughter's in love with comedy. She's actually very funny — she has it. She has funny in her. My daughter wants to be an entertainer so bad, I'm just holding her back until she's 18.'

A young comedian received a barrage of abuse on Twitter this week, just because he shares a name with England goalie Joe Hart. He had to tell users that: 'I'm a chubby gay comedian but if the goalkeeper is looking for a replacement I'll give it a go' after the number of interactions with him on the social media site went from zero to 2million as England crashed out of Euro 2016.


Amid all the chaos he found some sympathy with his plight, too. 'Mate, I genuinely feel for you today and know what you're going through,' said one gaming journalist, George Osborn.

• Johnny Depp has taken to the stage of the Los Angeles Comedy Store. He was at the club last Saturday night hanging out with his friend Doug Stanhope, one of the people who stood by him during his recent marital woes. But if he was hoping to keep a low profile, that was shattered comic Mat Edgar mentioned on mic that The Pirates of the Caribbean star wasin the room. So Depp walked on stage, and 'joked and bantered' for a while, earning a rousing from the audience.

A-dorable. This is Adam Buxton's half whippet, half poodle Rosie in a Norfolk field…
