What drew you to British comedy?
Probably Skins or The Inbetweeners. Growing up in Texas I watched my fair share of BBC America – those shows introduced me to the UK and the word “minge”. Now that I’m here, I’m disappointed that every day of my life doesn’t feel like being at a secondary school where the kids are completely unhinged.
What’s your process for writing new material?
I used to take just an idea, a single bullet point, to the stage and give it a go. See if it goes anywhere. Oh boy, have I seen many an audience member suffer from this method! These days I try to be more intentional and not take anything up there unless I have an idea of where it’s going.
