I spend my jollity on stage, so there is less in my own life.

I'm more pompous and self-assured and determined that if - you know - if the truth can be told so as to be understood, it will be believed.

I think Ross Noble is the only person that I've seen really storm a stand-up slot at a festival, and that was when he led 3,000 people on a conga out of the tent and across the entire site to a vegetarian food truck.

I went to China for a brief working visit, and I thought that Shanghai was interesting, but Beijing totally grabbed me.

I find myself by default an atheist but fairly unhappily so. It would be bloody marvelous if there was a god.

I find it hard to get enthusiastic about hotels because, as a touring comic, I spend a lot of time in them.

And much as I enjoy writing and creating stuff, I don't enjoy it so much that I am willing to give up any time that could otherwise be spent performing.
