Stand-up, for me, is really more of an addiction, so you have to feed the beast whenever you can.

I know I'd be an absolutely horrendous politician.

There are so many low points with stand-up. You are perpetually humiliated, so it doesn't really matter anymore. I don't have any dignity left to lose. An audience can’t hurt you anymore when you’ve been completely dismantled.

It's pretty physically unsettling, living life on a visa.

Iran is the middle child of the Axis of Evil. Iraq is the oldest child and gets the lion's share of the attention, and North Korea is the crazy baby.

Politicians don't really bring up religion in England.
