I am a hip-hop artist, as you probably know. My hip-hop name is Big Smalls.

One of the guys that used to run it - for some reason I've no idea why he used to call me the Sea Monster and I was just looking around for a name and thought that'll do. That lasted for a couple of years probably.

I tried to eat better too, but when you're on tour you literally just eat some hideous pork pie on the motorway on the way to a show. It's a really unhealthy lifestyle: you're up late, drinking loads of coffee to stay awake, drinking loads of alcohol because you're socialising with people.

You look across the board at comedy quiz shows, and they are mainly hosted by men.

Men are fantastic - as a concept.

And I also felt that no one in an audience could abuse me worse than the sort of abuse I had had at work as a psychiatric nurse.

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.
