In Australia, I'm built up as this comedy hero, which was never my intention.

I'm pretty lucky. I don't get too many haters.

I started doing comedy just as myself, because I thought, "This is what's expected, you're meant to tell stories and do observations." And then I started to realize that I wanted to mix it up a bit, so I started to doing songs, and I had a little keyboard onstage and would bring in little props. Then I thought about the idea of talking about a character and becoming the character onstage. So, it sort of morphed into being stand-up that was more character based, and I found that's the stuff I got the better reaction from and was more exciting for me.

I think surprises make TV entertaining.

I find actors a little bit too self-conscious.

You feel the pressure of going to university because you need a back-up plan, which is why I enrolled.

I'm interested in youth culture - when your parents are running your life, but you think you're the big man - but I'm not trying to make a statement.
