I guess my performance at school was doing school musicals, so I was a knight as well at the back of the stage in Camelot. It was all those kind of things. It wasn't the stuff that I wanted to do. The real funny character stuff came out when I was in control of it myself and writing it myself.

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 like the boundaries, the kinds of conventions of a documentary and having to work within that.

I'm not a big fan of 'Jersey Shore' and those kinds of shows where people are really playing up to the cameras.

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

I get asked to do stupid things like panel shows and talk shows and things.

I didn't do very well academically; I was always in the bottom class.
