Q - What makes you want to make people laugh?
A - The incredible knowledge that I can't do anything else.
Q - Is there a routine by anyone else that you wish you'd written?
A - Most of them. More importantly I have stuff in my routine that I wish was someone else's. Just so I could say "My God, have you heard Charlie Sofa's terrible Bum Lover material?" and I could laugh about it with my great big comedy mates.
Q - Have you ever nicked anyone else's material?
A - No bloody way. I saw it happen once so I stabbed him. Just me, then?
Q - Who makes you laugh and who are your heroes?
A - Paul Merton, Daniel Kitson, Kitty Flanagan, Indiana Jones.
Q - Have you ever said or done anything on stage that you really regretted?
A - I wouldn't know where to begin.
Q - What is your favourite routine / joke that you do?
A - My ex was so bitter when we split up that she made a voodoo doll of me. Lucky for me she's an acupuncturist.....Never gets a laugh.
Q - Is there anything that you've done that you thought was really funny but no-one laughed?
A - See above.
Q - Is there anything that you wouldn't joke about?

Q - Are you happy with the way your career is heading and where would you like it to go?
A - Yeah. I've recently been commissioned to write a sitcom with Bennett Arron for the BBC. It's pretty exciting.
Any big ambitions for the future?
