I love telly so much and I come from a telly background, I used to work in production.

As a disabled comedian, often my hecklers are also disabled.

I live in London. But during lockdown I moved back to Yorkshire with my mum and dad.

I spent lockdown back in Yorkshire with my parents, which was... tricky! But it did remind me how beautiful my hometown of Bridlington is, with its beautiful beaches, wildlife, and lovely locals.

Without a doubt, my life has been better because of the Disability Act.

My walk. Let's clarify this: you're not allowed to laugh at my walk but I am. Most times I am in control of my leggies, but occasionally they have a mind of their own, and the little flicks can be very funny.

Every movement ignores disabled people. So, during MeToo no one was talking about the experience of disabled women; during BLM the notion of black disabled people was just ignored and so in terms of comparison we need to have this movement for disabled people.

I think that the way forward now is more schemes and much more disabled people on TV: in sitcoms, in soaps. A disabled person reading the news would be the dream.

I've tried to apply for jobs and I've been hung up on because of how I speak.

If I want to do something badly enough, I'll make it work, disability or no disability.
