Why should we see your show?
Because it's funny and it makes you think.
Tell us a joke in 25 words or less.
I'm 43 years old - or as I like to think of it, 38 plus GST. Take off the withholding tax, and I'm barely 30.
What makes
you laugh out loud?
The gags you have to think about for a second.
What's the worst line you've ever delivered?
Asking a woman in the front row of the Classic when her baby was due. She wasn't pregnant.
What keeps you awake at night?
Movies, music, wine, and company. But I'm fine once I get to bed.
What were you like as a child?
A bit smaller and much younger. Otherwise exactly the same.
When were you last embarrassed and why?
See, "the worst line" above.
Without looking it up, give us a scientific explanation of laughter.
Your brain and your body, making love with each other.
If you weren't a comedian you would be ... ?
Miserable. And constipated.
