99: What do you remember about your first gig?
A: That it was the archetypal awful first gig. More comics than audience, a drunk mc, no stage, just a space where other people where expected not to stand (unfortunately the toilet was behind the ‘playing area’ so that didn’t happen). Oh yeah and one comic did a rap that made an audience member cry (it was a good joke but the crying lady took the edge of it a little)

99: What do you love most about doing comedy?
A: Creating something out of nothing. Just you me and some thoughts I’ve had.

99: What do you hate most about comedy?
A: The pre-show anxiety: I could do without that. I wind myself up something rotten.

99: Describe yourself in 4 words or less
A: Lazy.

99: What would say to a brand new comedian?
A: Audiences love “knock knock” jokes. They’re coming back in a big way. Oh and make sure you’ve got a ripping 20 minutes about airplane food, Ryan air and the difference between men and women. People won’t know what’s hit them.

99: What would you say to an established multimillionaire comedian?
A: Word is, all the cool kids are doing “knock knock” jokes. Could help get your credibility back after all those ads you did (Just saying).

A: I think it’s convenient for home.

99: What do you most love (or hate) about the Edinburgh Fringe?
A: I just don’t think there are enough shows and if only it were just one week longer.

A: The person who’s going to give me a TV show.

99: What one thing would you do to improve comedy in the UK?
A: Nothing it’s fantastic. You have no idea. I just gigged in LA. Our scene is like the NHS: Sometimes you can only appreciate it when you see how other countries cope.
