I just assume a lot of people hate me. You just have to suck it up.

There's a club called Headliners in Chiswick where I do a lot of my warmups for tours. For me it's a nice 'big-small' room: it's a 300 seater, which feels small but you can still get big laughs.

I did a stand-up performance on Conan O'Brian, which was great, but it's not for me. I prefer England.

I'm trying to write a film with my friend. I'd love to get the thrill of speaking actors making my work even funnier.

I don't really have a political agenda, I just like things to be fair - I get angered by pomposity and privilege.

I always found it strange, when I went round to other people's houses for tea and that, how strict their parents were.
