Black beauty - he's a dark horse.

Black beauty - he's a dark horse.

For one thing, I don’t pun excessively in real life.

I sit in places like Costa Coffee in Banstead and write rubbish. I need a deadline. I think about the 44 tour dates and keep imagining standing in front of all these people. Then every day I write 15 jokes minimum.

If you compulsively pun you are called a paronomasiac.

My friend told me he was going to a fancy-dress party as an Italian island. I said: 'Don’t be Sicily’.

With silly stuff, it's seventy-five percent confidence. I always tell people that it's because I'm nervous about getting that next laugh and I need to hear it. I always want to condense a joke
