Tim Key – Masterslut
2. Since you’re a comedian, is there a lot of pressure to be funny on a first date?
Tons. The best thing to do is keep it a secret. Tell the poor thing you’re a tree surgeon or an athlete. That way any glimmer of amusement you squeeze out will be seen as a bonus.
Dixie Longate – Dixie’s Tupperware Party
6. When and/or why did you decide to become a comedian?
Well, I always made people laugh but I never intended to become a comedian. I just couldn’t dance around a pole at that bar any more back in Alabama because most of the people tip in coins. And quarters hurt when people throw them at you.
Paul Foot – Still Life
4. A movie that made you cry?
I don’t really watch films, there are too many women walking on, and things moving, and men wearing hats, I can’t keep up with them.
Idiots of Ants
5. What do you do when you get sad?
We don’t get sad. Life is good. We do comedy for a living! We do a 7 hour week, we don’t have a boss and we can drink beer at work. We can’t believe our luck!
Alex Horne – Seven Years in the Bathroom
8. What do you want to be when you grow up?
An army (that was my stock answer aged 3 and I’m sticking with it).
