I wouldn't be in a huge hurry to go back to Kansas. It was just bizarre. There's a lot of very, very heavy set people who believe in whatever they were told, because they didn't seem to get out very much or be interested in leaving where they were. They just didn't seem that curious, and I find that a little hard to deal with.
I have tried... believe me, I have tried to like rap music. It makes me feel so very, very old. I have tried to get home with the downies.
I do think it's perfectly natural and human to want to invest belief in something. It's just a facet of who we are. What do I believe in? I believe in the obvious things. The people I'm close to and my work - it's not complicated.
Over the years The Stand have been great about giving me stage time if I need to run new material. The audience is always a great mix of attentive and loud and lively: you get that good listening quality that any good comedy club should have.
There was a time when I thought if I see Victoria Beckham's face any more I'm going t forget my 11 times tables because my brain is going to dislodge old information to accommodate the new.
Its not easy being a man you know. I had to get dressed today and there are other pressures.
You're doing your own thing if you're doing stand-up, obviously, you are the show.
People walk past me in the street and look at me, but because they think I work in their office and they can't remember my name.
Look at his face. I bet his cornflakes try to crawl out of the bowl.
Don't clap I'm not a jazz band for Christ's sake.
I'm not a fighter, I'm a bleeder.
I can't swim. I can't drive, either. I was going to learn to drive but then I thought, well, what if I crash into a lake?
I dont watch a whole lot of stand up. Mainly I prefer to read writers; they make me laugh the most. Something gets you when youre alone and someones voice is coming through their work. Theres a different quality to it that stays with you a bit more.
Idioms are a big thing in Ireland. They want to fill the time, to show how good they are at talk - it's a talk-off
