Brush my teeth! Not because they’re mingin, because it makes me feel fresh! Psychologically, it gives you that wee buzz, that little get up and go as if it’s the beginning of your day which in comedy terms it probably is.
2. What irritates you?
Cold trains! Do we really need air-conditioning in Scotland!
3. What is the most dangerous thing you have ever done?
I once wore navy blue and black together - does that count?
No, I did an aerial assault course 100 ft in the air on ropes suspended from the ceiling for a TV show once - that felt very dodgy indeed!
4. What is the most stupid thing you have ever done?
I once used a vegetable steamer as a biscuit tray because I genuinely thought that’s what it was for! I was mortified when I realised it was for daein’ yer totties!
5. What has surprised you the most during your career in comedy?
That the venue is one of the most important things. I don’t think I would have realised how important the setting up of a comedy gig was in the early days. I think the room either works with you or against you and it’s a joy when it works with you!
