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.
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.
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.
feels
Once you start doing a lot, you don't ever want to stop working. It feels weird if you're not doing something.
life quite
I have got a fantastic life and I just like to get on with it, and I am quite a private person.
constantly
I'd like to scale back the television. I'm constantly told that I'm over-exposed, and I don't want to end up like Carol Vorderman.
comics jokes met order prefer routines sit
Some comics have long routines to get them in the mood - I just prefer to sit down, write out the same jokes in a different order and then have a little prayer that I won't be met by silence.
funny
If I'm in an uncomfortable situation, I think I can say something funny to defuse it. Sometimes you can't.
There's a real sense of camaraderie with sitcoms.
love
I love stand-up, but the process of writing is a little more lonely. I want to keep doing both, though.
buck insecure looked wore
When I was younger, I was insecure for about 10 years: I wore glasses, had a cow's lick, buck teeth and braces. I looked ridiculous.
