How did you get into standup?
I always loved comedy, but because I didn’t know the who, what, where and when, I didn’t think it would be something I could do professionally. Then in 2008, when the credit crunch happened, I realised no job is stable and nothing is serious, so I might as well give my comedy dream a try!
Who inspired you when you were first starting out?
The most inspirational comic for me when I first started was Chris Rock, after seeing Bigger and Blacker. After that, I would say that the list is now endless, as I’ve been able to draw inspiration from all over. From Dave Chappelle to Katherine Ryan to David Mills to Sebastian Maniscalco, there’s inspiration to be found anywhere.
