Loadsamoney is among the familiar characters returning in the tour Harry Enfield and No Chums, which visits Eastbourne, Tunbridge Wells and Guildford this autumn.
The self-styled “Thatcherite visionary” has been updated for the 21st Century, and Enfield believes the character has become relevant again.
“The one I’m really enjoying is Loadsamoney because he is so offensive and he’s really up to date now,” he said.
“There are so many billionaires now – the rich have got richer and the poor have got poorer – and he would find that absolutely hysterical.”
Born in Sussex, Enfield attended Worth School near Crawley and Collyer’s in Horsham and regularly returns to the county.
He admitted there was one local distinction he would still like to achieve.
“My sister had a boyfriend who asked ‘What’s the worst review you have ever had?’ And I told him.
“He said: ‘That’s nothing, I have been burned at the stake twice [as an effigy] at Lewes Bonfire.’
“He used to be the head of Southern Rail. That’s pretty cool, isn’t it, to be burnt twice?
“With any luck if you come and see me in Eastbourne or Tunbridge Wells – if I offend you – please make an effigy of me and burn it at Lewes Bonfire!”
