I'm good at finding things to do on my own, even if it's just reading.
My childhood was as heavily gendered as any you would find in a working-class household in Lincolnshire.
I think jokes can actually go to places that drama can't.
The only thing I've cooked while entertaining is stir-fry.
My parents' marriage was already shaky when I came along. They split up when I was five, and I didn't see Dad all that often after that - four or five times a year.
Where you have 20 people who all share roughly the same educational and life experiences, they're going to come up with the same solutions to the same problems.
Basically I try not to knock other comedians.
I cant imagine getting bored with comedy or thinking comedy is beneath us suddenly.
Feminism is an attack on social practices and habits of thought that keep women and men boxed into gender roles that are harmful.
I grew up watching British comedy on TV, really.
I get recognised a fair bit. It goes up when Peep Show or the sketch show is on the telly or when were doing loads of interviews.
I dont do much to keep in trim - I try to walk places instead of driving whenever I can, but I really ought to do more.
I did The Frank Skinner Show, and they gave me a little jukebox-shaped CD player, which looks nice in the kitchen.
I've read the Bible, but I felt like a lot of the Bible was oppressive towards women. Then I read the Quran, and I thought it was also oppressive towards women.
