How do you keep your performances fresh every night?
I want the show to develop as I perform it over the fringe. If some crazy person decided to come to both my first and last shows, I’d want them to feel like the show had ‘grown up’ over the month almost. Also, comedy is all I want to do! I can’t imagine getting bored being able to perform every night, I’m incredibly lucky and it always feels exciting (but also, maybe show me this in September).
What misconceptions do you think people have about you/your show – would you like to clear them up?
I’ve been told by friends they describe me as ‘really nice when you get to know her.’ I’m essentially the human version of when you recommend a tv show you say only gets good in season 6. I think I just take a while to warm up to people – my whole show is about the exterior I’ve built up, and now I’m trying to knock it down.
If you/your show were a school subject what would you/it be and why?
I think my show would be Fine Art. That sounds really arrogant – let me explain why it’s not. I did Fine Art at school – there was no one cool in Fine Art. It’s where all the awkward, weird kids would congregate and hope we were channeling it into something artistic and meaningful. I definitely didn’t, I think my final piece was a mask of my own face – very edgy, not at all embarrassing – so you could consider this a redo.
