I go around the country and do a simple gag like, 'The property ladder is now a snake' and get a real laugh.
I was in love with the idea of being in love with a woman way before I was actually in love with one.
Women were quite terrifying until I was older. I think that's partly down to confidence.
The bigger the audience, the better with comedy.
No matter how much you give a homeless person for tea... you never get that tea.
I like to write a joke without any fat on it.The shorter the better. I cater for people with ADD, basically.
Like most of the world's population I'm into coffee, my perfect weekend would start with a pint of coffee.
I was a Christian. I didn't want to have sex before marriage, I was a bit uptight and not very self-confident. I was a virgin until I was 26.
I did a gig in the U.S. once for the homeless. I said 'It's nice to see so many bums on seats.'
My girlfriend said she wanted me to tease her, so I said "Alright, fatty."
When someone close to you dies, move seats.
People with Tourettes.....What makes them tick?
When you eat a lot of spicy food, you can lose your taste. When I was in India last summer, I was listening to a lot of Michael Bolton.
I was in the South of France. I saw a Brownie on a school trip. She was holding up a book. It said on the front 'rough guide'. I thought: 'Yeah' she's not a looker.
