I'm not interested in babies at all. Babies to me are like wasps: pointless, irritating and even one can ruin a picnic. They're just not my bag at all.

I remember I quite liked 'SingStar' for a while.

I once hosted the Butcher Shop of the Year Awards. There's nothing like performing to the personification of the phrase a 'sausage fest' to hammer home how you've hit the big time.

The high of a great set is better than anything.

I'm definitely my worst critic. I guess that's good because it keeps you on your toes.

Everyone knows the feeling where you're in the pub and you make your mates laugh. It's awesome, you feel like you rock. That's what comedians want with a bit of extra ego.

In group situations, I tend to be the quiet one.

I'm always in comfy clothes.

I reckon I'm in pyjamas 70 per cent of my life. But I do love getting dressed up, too.

I wear a lot of black, floaty things, but I've got lots of bright, flowery stuff, too.

I prefer clothes with a waist rather than boxy shapes.

I'd like to be on 'Graham Norton.' Just because I used to do the audience warm-up for the 'Graham Norton' show, and I just think that would be a beautifully lovely, typical end to a narrative. I like a neat ending.

I would like to go to the Oscars. I'm not even talking about being nominated - although that would be lovely. Even if it was I won a competition on the back of a crisp packet to go to the Oscars I would like to go to the Oscars.

I was working in a day job in marketing but I had my sights on doing an open-mic night.

I always showed off when I was a kid.

I was always the tallest. I was five foot seven when I finished junior school.

I'm quite ungainly.

I was never thin enough to be a proper model and not big enough to be plus-size.

I have no maternal instincts.

I was a massive geek.

I want a dragon.

I went out with a guy from Wolverhampton once. He took me to watch a Wolves match. A man in the seat behind me burned a hole in my coat with a cigarette.

Lots of people do stand up shows with no narrative, but I love a beginning, a middle and an end.

Show Me The Funny' was not very successful ratings wise, but the right people saw me.

People who have heard of me have heard of me mostly through presenting and asked, 'Why have you gone into comedy?'
