Strutter madness...

Quiz Paul Kaye and win DVDs

Paul Kaye returns to MTV on Sunday as Mike Strutter, the bitter, foul-mouthed New York comedian introducing clips in a way that would never get him a job on You’ve Been Framed.

As the publicity says: ‘No one is safe as Mike pours violent scorn on everyone from red-carpet celebrities to the wretched souls who have recorded their bone-crunching mishaps for posterity.’

To coincide with the launch Kaye – who shot to fame as no-nonsense celebrity interviewer Dennis Pennis – will be answering Chortle reader’s questions.

And the six who submit the best, using the form below, will receive an MTV goody bag including the first series of Strutter on DVD.

To whet your appetite, here’s a deleted scene from series one.

Series two starts on MTV1 at 10.30pm this Sunday.

Sumbit your question by September 21 to stand a chance of winning:
