Women prefer a fun time with comic Kay


WOMEN have voted Bolton comedian Peter Kay their dream date - ahead of Hollywood heart-throbs Brad Pitt and George Clooney.

Kay topped the poll as more than half of the women surveyed by online dating website match.com said a sense of humour was the top thing they looked for in a man.

Little Britain star David Walliams and comic Russell Brand also made the top 10. Being funny beat being clever by a long way, with 55 per cent of women preferring a sunny outlook to 18 per cent wanting a man who was seriously intelligent.

Only nine per cent wanted their man to be sensitive, and just one in a 100 said they looked for a good body.

A spokesman for the dating website said: "I'd go so far as to say laughter makes love happen."
