You can't get any better than TV on HBO, ABC and BBC3.

I went to a private boys' school, and we had girls in the last two years.

People are always nice; I never get anything mean said to me on the street.

Fans feel they know me, so they want me to be on-the-spot funny, and it's hard to fulfil their expectations.

People think that I'm some kind of genius who's got these statements to say, and I'm not really.

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'm definitely attracted to the idea of people that have these big aspirations that the audience know might never happen, but they're lost in them.
