Comedian

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

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

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

If the front-page news is a comedian doing a joke that people think is naughty, that proves there's no real news that day, does it not?

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.

When you see the American chat shows, they've got so many ideas about what they could with the guests. I did stand-up on 'Jimmy Fallon' and they had loads of sketches and ideas, we don't tend to do that here.

I lived at home until I was 23.

Tommy Tiernan is an Irish comic who I believe is one of the finest in the world.

Neither me or my wife are any good at cooking.

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

Portland is incredible. It's the most amazing place.

I think all our leaders are utterly beneath us. You just watch 'Prime Minister's Questions' and go: 'How is this the best that we've got?'

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.

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

I've been doing stand-up for 15 years and I've never even been invited to the Comedy Awards! How mental is 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 love Dublin and the locals are extraordinary.

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