First record you bought?
Come on feel the noise by Slade
First thing you do when you wake up in the morning?
To tell you the truth I: Take off the costume, make breakfast for the supermodels and have my chauffeur drive them home.
Last lie you told?
The last lie I told was the “First thing you do when you wake up in the morning?”
Last film you watched?
Tron
First Crush?
On pain of death you could couldn't coax that out of me.
Last meal you cooked yourself?
Friday last I made toast, does that count as a meal?
First great piece of advice you were given?
You should never play cards with anyone who's first name is the same as an American city.
Last book you read?
Can You Survive the Zombie Apocalypse? By Max Brallier
First thing you would do if you knew the world was going to end?
See if I can find my girlfriend
Last thing you do before doing a show?
My way of getting in the right frame of mind is to peek through the curtain at the audience and think “I love these people. Let's give them a good time”.
First thing you do after a show?
Show time over I think it's important to talk to the audience and thank them for coming
Last time you were star struck?
I had Neil Gaiman come to see my show in Edinburgh and hang out with me after. That was amazing
First thing you’d do if you ran the country?
Can I end the Bedroom Tax?
Last meal on earth – what would it be?
Make mine a humongous rare kobe beef fillet steak.
First song you’d sing at Karaoke?
You Got The Love – Florence and The Machine.
Last funny thing you saw online?
A thing that made me laugh out loud was today's news that Max Clifford allegedly has a “freakishly small penis”. This is a man who always got his client a couple of inches in the tabloids.
First comedian you ever saw live?
Mentalist Les Bubb. He had an act that basically consisted of putting dozens of elastic bands round his face.
Last thing you were doing before starting these questions?
I think I was playing fetch with my dog. I've got really good at retrieving.
First time you lived on your own?
Honestly, I've never lived on my own.
Last time you won something?
Think it was a Three Weeks Editor's Choice Award for being one of their top ten things at the Edinburgh Fringe.
First Holiday you ever went on?
You'll be so jealous, it was Butlins Skegness with my mum. I've never quite managed to reach the same level of glamour since.
Last time you made a fool of yourself?
Really? You have read this right?
First job you ever had?
Like a Saturday job in the greengrocer's department of Tesco. I once found a huge spider in a box of bananas and we had to close the store while an “expert” found and trapped it.
Last Comedian you saw you that you thought was great?
It was a privilege to watch Nick Doody open for me on a recent tour of Switzerland – He's amazing.
First thing you would do/recommend when you arrive in Glasgow?
The first thing I'd do is read the hidden message I've placed in this interview (Hint. Read the first word of each answer)
