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

My family are amused by me, and glad they're not me. 

What’s the worst thing about being a comedian?

The road is a lonesome place. Full of ennui for even the happiest of men. 

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 only admire a working man. So if, on a monthly basis, I'm providing for my loved ones with coin and care then I'll enjoy myself.

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

Money is relative and very fleetingly. It's all about how much time you've got on your side. 

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

Fortune favours the brave; it's not about the right time, it's about being the right man when the time comes.

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?

Definitely the third.. Golf is a form of self-harm.

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

Don Giulio Fabrizio Tomasi, you'd have to read The Leopard to find out why though..

Do you keep your drawers tidy and if not why not?

I have one drawer in the whole house to stuff my bits and pieces in. It's a mess and all mine.
