You see my next door neighbour worships exhaust pipes, he's a catholic converter.
I'd like to start with the chimney jokes - I've got a stack of them. The first one is on the house.
People ask 'do you make a conscious effort not to swear?' - if you're doing silly stuff you're not tempted to put swearing in. All the comics from my childhood, who were funny without swearing, were the people that influenced me. What I do is quite traditional anyway.
So I went to buy a watch, and the man in the shop said "Analogue." I said "No, just a watch."
I'm not someone who gets to play The O2 and places like that, but that's the kind of rock and roll venue. The popularity of stand-up means that some people are getting to play rock star venues.
People think that because of my act that I must have a really busy mind and I must be driven. I really am not. I quite like going outside and looking at spiders on a hedge in my garden and stuff.
As you get older you're told to be sensible, but it's important for writing if you're a comic that you're able to still access that childlike thing.
You know, I'm not very good at magic - I can only do half of a trick. Yes - I'm a member of the Magic Semi-circle.
Comedy covers such a wide range of different styles that I'm not really qualified to talk on all of them any more than anyone else is.
I've got a sponge front door. Hey, don't knock it.
I sit in places like Costa Coffee in Banstead and write rubbish. I need a deadline. I think about the 44 tour dates and keep imagining standing in front of all these people. Then every day I write 15 jokes minimum.
One of the things I like about when I tour sometimes is that occasionally you'll see a dad there with his 12-year-old son and they're both enjoying it.
If you do weave one-liners into a story, you have to have an overall story as well, otherwise it doesn't really count as narrative.
For one thing, I don’t pun excessively in real life.
I love acting, but it's all just a bonus.
