At first she was very excited, but then she came to the Classic Late Show. No parent should come to these shows.
Eight minutes into your show, all going well, what is happening?
Hopefully nothing, just waiting for the laughs to die down ... all going well.
Where are you usually when jokes come to you?
Normally socialising. Sometimes a few ideas pop in my head in the shower or even in bed.
What's more important as a comedian, youth or wisdom?
Discuss.I'd have to say both. Youth really does help me with my target audiences. Being young and fresh on stage always lightens the mood and helps people board your comedy ship. Wisdom I believe is better when you're older. I wouldn't know yet, being only 23.
Who's your comedy hero, and why?
Tommy Cooper, a comedian magician from the 60s who had his own TV series, and hardly did a trick. He had me in stitches as a kid, and still does today. He taught me that entertaining was the key to being a great performer.
