Comedian

If anyone pays me a compliment, I'll do almost anything.

I have a simple, simple brain.

Whenever we do wire work, we do look like babies just being, like, dangled.

Well, I'm obsessed with shoes - small shoes, weirdly shaped shoes, hotdogs in shoes, things sliding in and out of shoes.

Vampires, they're like the gift that won't stop giving. It's a good fruitful place to find comedy because they take themselves so seriously.

My Greek relatives I think probably are vampires.

It's very rare to be able to do a show where the most important thing is being funny.

My parents let my old room out to students studying abroad and my dad can never remember their names. They had a boy called Gerchen staying for over a year once and my dad called him 'courgette' the entire time.

You just get satisfaction from achieving something that you just don't get in any other way than from being creative.

It's embarrassing to say you want to be a comedian. Admitting that you want attention and you think you're such a laugh.

I think mockumentaries are such well-trodden grounds for comedies. It has been done a lot, but it is because of that informal nature, it's such a fertile ground to be funny.

I grew up watching 'Big Train,' these collectives of comedians who knew each other, and as a comedy fan you knew who was going out, who were best friends.

My dad makes me hiss with laughter.

I've always wanted to try presenting and see what it was like, and you know, it could be a huge mistake.

We still have a long way to go in such a misogynistic industry. But the discussions that we are having on social media and in politics, about the equal representation of women, which wasn't happening when I started out, is definitely changing things.

They are cheaper to make and easier to do; you can just cram in loads of talent into a format that works and works. But if you look back, a lot of people we love today like French and Saunders, Ricky Gervais and Steve Coogan, all started in sketch shows.

I tried to pull off a pair of thigh-high suede boots once, but my legs just looked like two big trouts wrapped up.

Everyone who does comedy at my level thinks the same thing: 'What am I doing with my life?'

I think being creative and making something that you can look at is so good for your brain and your soul. Nothing beats it.

I used to be a nanny and the kids used to laugh at me when I'd say 'Shall we paint something?' They just wanted to go on their iPads.
