## Style and influences

Forbes is a lover of physical comedy and often incorporates [slapstick](/source/Slapstick) humour into his routines. He has cited [Laurel and Hardy](/source/Laurel_and_Hardy), [Charlie Chaplin](/source/Charlie_Chaplin), [Rowan Atkinson](/source/Rowan_Atkinson), [Sir Norman Wisdom](/source/Sir_Norman_Wisdom) and, "most of all", [Michael Crawford](/source/Michael_Crawford) among his physical influences. "Against all advice," says Forbes in an interview with online blog *Comedy Blogedy*, "I'd try everything they did at home: bumping into things, falling over, deliberately spilling stuff and – to my mother's horror – throwing myself down the stairs."[46]

Forbes apparently perfected his stair-fall in a university production of [Michael Frayn](/source/Michael_Frayn)'s *[Noises Off](/source/Noises_Off)*.[47]

Of his sketch group Daphne's debut [Edinburgh Festival Fringe](/source/Edinburgh_Festival_Fringe) show, *[The List](/source/The_List_(magazine))* magazine's Brian Donaldson remarked upon a "wild slapstick moment that will hopefully not result in an injury to Forbes before August is out."[48]
