I'm more influenced by characters than standups. I love strong, comic women, because it's so hard and I have so much respect for anyone who can do it..

I do love live performing, but I'm not a stand-up naturally, and I don't like the lifestyle of working just in the evenings at clubs..

It's kind of a camaraderie in the comedy community, people are kind of proud of how badly they go down sometimes, and it's quite nice to join in with….
