I was very young, and I kind of decided I wanted to do comedy. My parents were musicians, so we traveled on a tour bus. You're in a different town every night; as a kid, you're trying to make friends fast. You try to be funny.

I remember being fascinated by the very nature of comedy from the age of 10; why is this funny, and that isn't?

I watched a lot of comedy growing up.

Now, where does my comedy come from, like, as a human being? Yeah, when I was a kid I was dyslexic and had to go to special-ed every day and felt stupid about that and got very witty to defend myself.

Comedy wasn't something I chose - it chose me. I was just inherently funny when I was a kid.

My comedy is for children from three to 93. You do need a slightly childish sense of humour and if you haven't got that, it's very sad.

Comedy is learning to be funny, and you learn to be funny in small rooms with young audiences.

I was a huge fan of comedy when I was a child.

In life, comedy occurs naturally, as it should, in the most appalling of circumstances.
