I am not sure gender ever won't be an issue in comedy, because I think that women do have different priorities in some respects.

People often ask why comedy is harder for women, and the reason is because a tampon will sometimes fall out when you're on stage. Blokes don't have that worry.

Women are more emotional, and it's natural to talk about it.

I was trained as an actress. But I wasn't a very convincing actress, so I started doing punk poetry and then fell into doing stand-up.

If I do go to the beach there have to be certain rules: it can't be a pebbly beach, there has to be some shade and there has to be a beach bar. I don't want to go off the beaten track.

I prefer highs and lows to an even keel. Moderation is never something I've been good at.

I can't stand folk who are all snobby about reality TV.
