"I was an only child but I never longed for a sibling. It just didn't occur to me." — Bill Bailey

My earliest memory is feeling soil between my fingers when I was around three years old.

Doing comedy around the world is a way of finding out how people tick.

I realised that the 'future' is different to how I imagined it. When I was a kid I thought it would be a bright, shiny Tomorrow's World. It isn't.

My grandfather had strong opinions. He was an argumentative character and quite staunchly socialist.
