I know now not to eat before a standup gig or TV show. Your brain’s not working as fast after you eat. I’m slower, more tired. It’s similar to how you feel post-coital, right? Postprandial and post-coital are very similar because, as far as your body is concerned, it’s mission accomplished for today. Nothing else needs to be achieved: you’ve eaten and you’ve procreated – you’re smashing this! Go to bed, you’ve earned it. Of course, as a comedian, that’s when the working day starts, but your body doesn’t know.
I’m a real high-low person. I love a Michelin-star tasting menu. I love a Zinger meal. I’m not elitist at all when it comes to food. I just love it all.
