Does comedy thrive in challenging economic times? Crime and entertainment are recession-proof.  Thank God.

What punchline have you longed to find a joke for but never quite managed? "My chromotograph is still drying on the radiator."

If you could call a moratorium on one over-used stand-up premise, what would it be? That the English are repressed and polite.

Monty Python or The Goodies? Neither. They are both hugely over-rated in that aren't we so clever kind of way. Oxbridge twats.

Does your mother approve of your career choice? Yes.  She thinks I'm a pole-dancer.

If your comedy was a musical genre, what would it be? Rock'n'roll mate – rock ‘n' roll.

Of what comedian would you most like to hear about the mysterious, volcano-related disappearance? Every single Oxbridge male double act that has disgraced this planet with their existence.

Complete: my dog has no nose. Well, it's not complete then, is it?

What do you want to be when you grow up? More ambitious.

What's the funniest thing about Sydney? That odd shaped building on the harbour.

In 30 words or less, explain what your show is about and why everyone should go and see it. I've been doing comedy for more than twenty years and I'm fucking good at it.  That's all you need to know.  I'm off for a lie-down.
