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

My mum is very supportive in her own way, she still thinks I should have a part time job in case is “Doesn’t work out”. Even when I told her I won an Award at Edinburgh I still don’t think she gets that I’m doing ok at this.

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

Invoices!!! haha I am the worst person at Admin the world, you only have to ask my fiancé or my Manager. Apart from that nothing. It really is the best job in the world. Some people don’t like the travel, that doesn't bother me. Plus your friends are comedians, you get to hang out with funny people. It’s great.

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 I’m ok. . . . decent haha.I think I’ve got good foundations to be a good comic and as long as I keep working and getting better, then maybe one day I can say with confidence that I’m good.

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

I earn more than I did when I was working in a Call Centre and how much would I like to earn. . . . . . enough to not worry about money.

I don’t think anyone gets in to comedy to earn lots of money and if that is your sole goal then you really need to quit. I don’t think it’s a healthy place for people who are driven by money or fame.

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

I would say I’ve had a few lucky breaks, some big acts have been a huge help to me in offering advice, guidance and the opportunity to support them on tour. Which has had a huge impact on me. I don’t know if I believe in luck, I think if you work hard and are a good comedian the opportunities will come. Basically don’t be a cunt to people, do what is asked of you, do a good job, write, turn over material, respect the audience and the acts who have gone before you and you’ll be fine.

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?

Golfers really? Thats what he said, ok. Well you could probably split them into sub categories again and again. I don’t think I’m a Golfer or a Self- harmer. I’d say I’m just a guy with a sense of humour and an ability to see the world a little different and tell a story. I can’t for what ever reason do a 9-5, so I do this. Wait maybe that makes me a Golfer!! Maybe I’m a Golfer who wishes he was a part time Self-harmer.

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

My dog Murphy, he is the best person I’ve ever known.

13. Do you keep your drawers tidy and if not why not? (please think long and hard about this question, it's to settle an argument with my girlfriend. The future of our relationship could depend on your response).

Well I don’t know which side of this argument you sit on but I’ve just had the same fight with my Mrs. I have a storage thing that has 20 small drawers in it. All of them are packed full of crap. To the untrained eye its a mess, but you know everything you need is in there somewhere. So really its the perfect system.
