Ironically, there isn't much comedy film in Britain, which is quite surprising seeing that we're quite good at it.

I always think it's just best to just make stuff and to carry on making stuff, even if it's not off your own back, because that's the only way... especially as a comedy writer, I make short films and then show them to live audience, so if they're laughing you know you're doing something right.

Both of us have forged our careers in London, but a lot of my comedy influences come from my family and my childhood.

We developed 'Sightseers' as a TV idea but didn't get anywhere with it because all the channels said it was too dark originally as an idea for television.

I think in most couples or partnerships, there's a constant struggle for power and dominance.

Manchester has a certain reputation of being cool.

It's nice to think people might be talking about it after they've seen it. With some comedies it's a bit 'wham bam thank you ma'am', and then you just go for a pizza.
