    :)

    1) Galvasean kept hounding me to support the application for a stand up comedy forum and when that was formed i was there for a while, then i got hooked, the boards virus infected me from there

    2) i felt like i wasnt wanted in the bar anymore and went for a boards wander, fund the noc and realised this was the place for me!

    3) i have indeed, miss maeve higgins, one of the worst gigs i have ever seen, it was painful, but i didnt lol because i realised i had paid money to see this so i got annoyed, went for a walk and talked to a different comedian!

    1) ive loved stand up comedy since....i dont even remember, and im an attention seeking whore (i have to try be noticed some how coz my looks certainly arent gonna do that) my first ever stand up gig was when i was7/8 and then years later after seeing galvaseans first gig i decided i really wanted to give it a go.

    2) just shy of 6 foot 2

    3) its the only human bodily contact i can get! :(

    Hmmm.

    Comedy's a tricky business, but one I used to be very interested in (as an audience member).

    Who would be your favourite contemporary comedian?

    What style would appeal to you most? Stanhope style píss people off, Dylan Moran-esque commentary, Tommy Tiernan's energetic/shouty style, and so on...?

    If you look at Richard Pryor, oft cited as the leading influence of a huge number of the (primarily Afro-Yank comedians of the 80s), who would be the influences of your style?

    What pisses you off about society?

    What's the worst thing you've witnessed happening?

    If you could travel back in time in order to change one event, what event would you choose and why?

    1) depends on what you mean by contemporary, my favourite comedian of all time would be mitch hedberg (RIP) the man is a legend and it just one of the greatest comedians of all time. favourite living comedian would probably be of course the big yin but id have to mention the less well known rich hall! pure genius!

    2) i love a huge wide range of comedy, to me, if it's funny i like it, i dont really have one specific favourite genre.

    3) main influences would probably be the mad cap and un PC comedians : mike wilmot, jim jeffries, jimmy carr, rich hall, jason byrne (the list goes on and on)

    1) i am sick to the teeth of these gobsh!tes who wont stfu abotu the recession, i know we are in one, we are all in the same boat, moaning about it and trying to find someone to blame is not gonna get us out of it! and the people that blame the recession for anything and everything, know what it is before you fcukin blame it!

    2) worst thing? hmmm, workin at some gig in the point and witnessed some chap smackin his girlfriend and it didnt seem like the first time it had happened! the head security guys promptly dealt with him and thats all that will be said about it ;)

    3) id stop chanel 4 from ever inflicting jade goody on to us! if she wasnt in big brother id say the world would be a better place!

    Most embarrassing moment in your life?

    Would you sleep with me?
