I'm quite good at talking about things I care about.

You can make bleak things funny but if you're glib about it, it doesn't work.

Whenever I come to Ireland, I end up just bantering with the crowd so the show will just be what it is.

I get panic attacks about dying, it's terrible. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and my brain goes 'you're going to die, you're going to die, you're going to die.'

I spent a lot of my childhood sat on a wall thinking, waiting for my mum to pick me up.

My Mum is not used to being in-front of camera.

Whenever the word 'weird' is mentioned it can only be an insult.

I'm happy when I'm working.

Neither me or my wife are any good at cooking.

I'm not really a cake man. I'm more a savoury guy.

Oddly, I am really cool under pressure.

I don't like doing things badly, that just feels like a waste of a day.

There's a club called Headliners in Chiswick where I do a lot of my warmups for tours. For me it's a nice 'big-small' room: it's a 300 seater, which feels small but you can still get big laughs.

In the summer Regent's Park is one of the best places in the world with every nationality playing every sport.

The British Museum is great for seeing how excellent we were at stealing things.

It's really frustrating when you write a show and it's really funny and someone and from Standards and Decency says, 'You can't put that in because it has a naughty word.'

I never really wanted to be on telly.

I worked in a watercress bed, picking weeds out of watercress when I was at school. It was awful.

I found out recently that my 'Good News' show has a big following in North Korea and the Vatican City! Who knew Kim Jong-un and the Pope liked fast-paced satire?

I did a stand-up performance on Conan O'Brian, which was great, but it's not for me. I prefer England.

But I did break my mum's heart, because I turned down 'Strictly' twice. I just couldn't do it. It's not for me.

I'm trying to write a film with my friend. I'd love to get the thrill of speaking actors making my work even funnier.

I don't really have a political agenda, I just like things to be fair - I get angered by pomposity and privilege.

I always found it strange, when I went round to other people's houses for tea and that, how strict their parents were.

My mum is unwittingly funny.

I like New York, I think you've got some of the best comics in the world here.

'Monty Python' was never on TV in the U.K. when I was a kid.

Chappelle is incredible. He is comfy on stage and he talks about big things and small things. He's a version of himself. That's what I've always wanted to be and hopefully I still am.

Seinfeld' was never a show in the U.K.

Like most comedians, I have crippling low self-esteem, so I always think that what I've just done is rubbish.

When you are doing stand up, it is the most glorious hour, when you are an X-Men version of yourself, with lasers coming out of your eyes.

I've never been on Facebook. My page is run for me. It is the same with Twitter.

My life is quite normal and for me it helps with my comedy. If you jump headlong into celebrity life it affects who you are and what you talk about.

Your country becomes funnier the further you are from it. I remember seeing Boris Johnson on the news when I was in Hong Kong, and he looked so much more ridiculous.

The number of old ladies who've beaten me up on TV is absolutely ridiculous.

Mum's side of the family are daft, beautiful and brilliant.

The hit rap duo Kris Kross wore their trousers backwards, in the Nineties, and I wore my trousers backwards to a school disco. It led to some bullying.

I have 40 cousins.

Everything I experience in life, I put through the sausage-maker that is comedy, and then try to make it funny for others. Whether that is healthy or not remains to be seen.

I've reached the age of 32 with little wisdom, I'm afraid. It's tragic. I still have to turn to my mum and dad for every decision I make in life.

I don't want to do a rabidly left-wing show. I think it's much more interesting to turn the knife on yourself.

I bought my mum a car, and I bought my brother one of those hoverboards for Christmas, and I bought my family a holiday to Australia.

I buy a lot of Liverpool trinkets. I've got Philippe Coutinho's boot - I spent three grand on that. Which, you know, is insane. But it's Philippe Coutinho's boot, what you gonna do?

I have a friend called James who is in his 40s and he's still not allowed to swear in front of his mum. I find it strange that you can't be yourself and be open with the one person who brought you into this world.

I broke my wrist on TV trying to do a one-armed push-up. A lot of people delight in pointing this out to me.

I don't really do any corporate gigs or I don't really cash in which is a bit silly and much to the annoyance of my family. I'd rather just do gigs that I like and TV shows that I like rather than personal appearances at a nightclub.

It's a bit of a cliche but throughout London, even in places like Notting Hill, you'll see utter luxury alongside council flats - it shows the tapestry of life and I adore that.

These are strange times. I'm 37 and this is the weirdest the world's ever felt. There's a right-wing, nationalistic anger sweeping through Europe and America.

I'm one of the people who actually laughs at everyone else's jokes!

Most comics' first gig is either brilliant or horrific.
