I make napkins talk in restaurants, socks talk on car journeys. There is an awful lot of puppetry going on in the house.

I could never be on stage on my own. But puppets can say things that humans can't say.

I think I've got it pretty easy compared with somebody who works at a desk nine to five. I'm just working for an hour in the evening. I get a bit breathless, as I have to talk non-stop because of the puppets.

If I have a gig in the evening, I get 'the doom' at about 5 P.M., when I think I'm getting flu.

The way I talk to the puppets is real, and it's in the moment, and it's seeing what will happen. It's not something that is scripted.

I've started running three or four times a week, which prompts millions of sketch ideas.
