people
I'm very conscious of other people's opinions and of people not liking me.
I never know what defines you as being posh. I went to a posh school, definitely.
I like to think I'm a bit smarter than I sometimes let on.
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.
grew
I'm not actually posh; I'm really rough and from the wrong side of the tracks. I grew up in Putney, which is pretty rough.
definitely jokes
I've definitely become smuttier. When I first started out, I had these aspirations: 'I'm not going to do jokes about anything crude because I'm bigger and better than that.' But then, I don't know... It makes me laugh, so I started doing it.
There's a real sense of camaraderie with sitcoms.
feels
Once you start doing a lot, you don't ever want to stop working. It feels weird if you're not doing something.
acts buffet carving club comedy gig people served side turkey
I did a gig at a comedy club in Bournemouth where they served a buffet while the acts were on. There was the clang of people carving turkey during the set. If you put comedy and turkey side by side, turkey always wins.
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.
