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

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.

All my shows are therapy, trying to navigate interesting subjects so I can work them out and to be honest and say some things are beyond the wit of this man.

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 have an addictive personality. Boarding school merely sent me more quickly on the downward spiral that dominated my childhood.

Eventually, somewhere - be it on the Internet or somewhere else - I will host some version of 'The Daily Show.'

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