I sang 'American Pie' a lot in my stage set. It had a knack of uniting an audience in a sing-along. It's a clever song about American history but wrapped in a fantastic tune.

Comedy's so subjective, and if someone comes to watch, doesn't get it, doesn't find it funny, then fine.

I use very few muscles at the best of times.

You can't be a proper comic unless you've been out on stage and felt the fear.
