bit chair
Part of doing stand-up is to get things off your chest. It's a bit like being in a psychiatrist's chair - but more enjoyable.
acted bad nativity plays school shakespeare wrote
I acted at school but got very bad parts - things that they'd made up in Shakespeare plays like 'Guard 17' - so I wrote plays and gave myself parts, then I wrote sketches, then I did stand-up. Even in the school nativity I was the emu in the manger.
along behave people public ruins school society
Society is so divided in its perception of public school people. Most people who went to public school behave in the right way, but every now and then there will be someone who comes along and ruins it.
I never know what defines you as being posh. I went to a posh school, definitely.
mother giving birth
I love Downton Abbey. It's just great. My mother giving birth to me was just like Lady Sybil giving birth, except that there wasn't such a tragic ending.
funny sausage comedy
This sausage roll only contains 2% of your daily intake of calories... if you lick it.
funny play littles
Oh, you wanna do a little bit of roleplay? Could you just play dead?
careers talking months
For the first six months of my stand-up career, I was talking like Danny Dyer. I was doing a lot of 'alright guvnors?' It wasn't true to who I was.
honesty thinking people
I think people respect honesty rather than hiding it.
writing thinking ideas
I want to write a film. I need to think of the right idea and focus on that; I love writing.
thinking people beard
I hope people think of me as a bit older. I do have a beard. That makes me look very old.
comedy getting-laid
I only got into comedy to get laid
funny bed comedy
I've never laughed a woman into bed, but I've laughed one out of bed many times.
bullying kids firsts
I bought one of those anti-bullying wristbands when they first came out. I say 'bought', I actually stole it off a short, fat ginger kid.
