I've always wanted to make people laugh. It's been my only ambition, ever since my dad introduced me to the genius of the great comedians: Tony Hancock, Woody Allen, people like that. ”

While other kids were into New Kids on the Block, I was into Harold Lloyd and Stan Laurel. ”

I love talking about myself! Why would you not want to talk about yourself? ”

When I was at drama school, people weren't taking pictures of themselves every five minutes. So I didn't realise how I looked. It was only when people started taking pictures of themselves that I looked at myself and thought: 'Oh my God, I look really miserable.' Even when I'm happy I look sad. ”

People get so heated about it and can't see the funny side, I think. And plus, everything's been said. It must be really difficult to come up with new jokes about Brexit. ”

I've only written stand-up and sketch before, so writing something long-form on my own is proving quite difficult. But I'm enjoying it as well. ”

I think some people can't understand why you wouldn't want kids but I can't see any advantages at all. We're overpopulated as it is. Plus, I hate thinking the only reason I'm here is to pop out a kid or two. I'd rather leave something else behind. ”

So I was thinking I go to America. I think that would work, conquering America. Because they're so upbeat and positive and polite. ”

I'm happy doing what I'm doing. I do think, though, there were great comic actors like Thora Hird and Max Wall who only got taken seriously when they did straight roles at the end of their careers. ”

I wasn't a normal child. No boybands. ”
