Fantasy dinner party - who would you invite?

Five famous people, dead or alive. Who would you choose? Here’s mine:

Prince (obvs)
Micky Flanagan
Morgan Freeman
Stevie Wonder
Alanis Morrisette

Although I think Micky would get on Prince’s nerves...

When you are having your dinner parties, do you expect to participate in the conversation, or just sit back and listen? I'd be worried I had nothing useful to add...

TeenPlusTwenties · 25/08/2020 15:46

...I might be overthinking this though.

KatherineofTarragon · 25/08/2020 15:48

Ooh... i would also have Judy Garland and Sammy Davis Jnr in reserve if case any of my guests dropped out!
