It's so clear cut with a comedian - you have that reflex action, whereby you laugh or you don't. And so you either love us or you simply cannot see why people are laughing.

I don't see myself as offending people.

I didn't plan to be the rude middle-class comedian. You write a certain type of joke that you find funny, and mine happen to be often rude. Yes, it's juvenile, but that's me.

I love making people laugh. And I love laughing.

I like to see people laugh who are normally serious.

I go around the country and do a simple gag like, 'The property ladder is now a snake' and get a real laugh.
