I absolutely loathe sleeping in a tent, regardless of the weather. Will you be sticking around for the rest of the festival? You have to adjust and embrace that, rather than being precious and fighting it. The audience might be sitting on the grass, chilling out and drinking. You’re often on in broad daylight, with sound-bleed from bands. You’re one of the headline comics at Latitude. It’s getting better, but still isn’t enough. Most of the best standup I’ve seen in the last five years has been by women: Bridget Christie, Luisa Omielan, Rose Matafeo, Lolly Adefope, Lou Sanders, Felicity Ward, Hannah Gadsby, Kiri Pritchard-McLean… They’re obliterating it on the circuit and need to be seen on TV more. There’s no excuse for panel games, other TV comedy shows or even live bills to be made up mainly of men. What was the gender split of your episode? Is equality improving in comedy? You appeared on Have I Got News for You recently. Forget winning, I’m definitely proud of that. I was surprised to be nominated once, so five times is way beyond my expectations. Have you perfected your gracious runner-up face? You were nominated for the Edinburgh comedy award five times in a row. ‘Most of the best standup I’ve seen in the last five years has been by women’: James Acaster. He’s an icon, someone I grew up watching, loving and being inspired by, so I was delighted. More effusively, Billy Connolly said: “James Acaster on Netflix is a scream.” Was that flattering? To be fair, it’s true: I’m not for everyone and I do work hard. People identified with it because a lot of dads are like that – proud and affectionate but somehow always bumbling the compliment. Your father, David, tweeted an underwhelming compliment about you that went viral: “He’s not for everyone but he works hard.” Did he enjoy Twitter fame? Smooth chinos seem like the natural next step. Corduroy hits the sweet spot between jeans and slacks. I gradually found myself wearing corduroy in autumnal tones, then started matching my outfit to the backdrop. One website called it “Four Colours Corduroy”. You wear a different shade of corduroy in each show, colour-coded to the stage backdrop. If you voted Leave, try not to lose your mind in the comments section or on social media about what’s quite a whimsical metaphor. You’d be amazed at how angry Brexiteers get about it. But if you take the teabag out, the cup of tea as a whole is weaker – and the teabag itself goes directly in the bin. Even though it appears that the teabag itself is getting weaker, it’s still part of a strong cup of tea. If you leave it in, the cup of tea as a whole is stronger. You had to decide whether to leave the teabag in or take it out. The referendum was like making a cup of peppermint tea. In episode three, you compare Brexit to a teabag. If you want the truth about those cult heroes from 2010, watch my show. So I’ve dug up some dirt on the Chilean miners. Episode 2’s synopsis says it covers “light celebrity gossip” – about whom?Ĭertain celebs manage to worm their way out of the spotlight and I won’t stand for that.
