6. What do your parents/children (delete as applicable) think of your job?

They are as outraged as I am over the box junction fiasco. 

7. What’s the worst thing about being a comedian?

Driving over the box junction under the A4 Hammersmith flyover to get to gigs. 

8. I think you are very good at what you do (that’s why I’m asking these questions). What do you think of you?

I think that I should have just paid the £65 they wanted instead of fighting them to the last and having to pay double. 

9. How much do you earn and how much would you like to earn?

Enough to spend days at a time stationary on the box junction under the A4 Hammersmith Flyover. Penalty charge notices be damned. 

10. How important is luck in terms of career success – have you had lucky breaks?

None whatsoever. See below: 

 


11. Alan Davies has said that comedians fall into two categories - golfers and self-harmers. The former just get on with life, the latter are tortured artists. Which are you – or do you think you fit into a third category?

Cat 3) Those persecuted by London Borough Hammersmith & Fulham Council. 

12. Who is your favourite person ever and why - not including family or friends or other comedians?

Mr K Folami; Assistant Operations and Contract Manager, Transport for London. He let me off a ticket I got for entering a bus lane as a good will gesture.

13. Do you keep your drawers tidy?

They used to be tidy. They are now overflowing with correspondence to and from LBHF.
