Whatever situation you are in, that is what is normal for you.

I've never, ever had people being aggressive to me in public or abusing me, and actually quite a lot of men do say to me, 'You're quite good' - though they can't bear to go, 'You're great.'

Regular panelists on shows can be terrifying. They own that space, and many guest comics suspect they are favoured in the edit, while their own hilarious jokes end up being ejected into the ether.

I tend to think the world is a bit of a miserable place, so anyone who can add to people's optimistic, cheerful side is doing a good job, which is what I hope I'm doing.

I'm too nervous to eat before I go onstage, and I'll usually eat out after the performance or when I get home at midnight.

I used to get nervous about three weeks before a gig... now I've managed to condense it down to a manageable ten minutes.

I don't like doing stand-up, because I don't like standing up.
