If you're doing 70 gigs in a tour, there's a lot of responsibility. People need a big night out, and you're providing it.

I don't want to be one of those comics who says, 'Hey, what's wrong with air travel?' and stuff like that.

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

There's a lot of brilliant comics who are amazing, but you can see them doing the same 20 minutes that they were doing five years ago, verbatim. I think that doesn't lend itself to progressing.
