There are a lot of comics at the top end making staggering amounts of money and selling out stadiums. I think stand-up is a more intimate thing than that. Maybe because of the kind of comedy I do. It's like a discussion, but I'm the one with the microphone.

If you go on stage with an agenda, you have to accept not everyone's going to agree with it.

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

Never Google yourself. Seriously, don't!

The most successful comics are always the hardest-working ones.

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.

Offence is important; that's how you know you care about things. Imagine a life where you're not offended. So dull.
