1. DESCRIBE YOURSELF AND YOUR WORK IN 20 WORDS. Fun. My job is to hang around and make people laugh, just like most people did when they were kids. Except my wage is better now.

2. WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT YOU'RE FUNNY? People laughing. If people cry during a joke you know you've gone askew- it has happened!

3. DO YOU DO COMEDY FOR LOVE OR MONEY? I do it for 'loney'. i wouldn't do it if it didn't pay. If I didn't love it I wouldn't set foot on stage

4. HOW DO YOU PREFER YOUR AUDIENCES? Attentive, trusting and Nigerian.

5. DOES IT HURT WHEN THEY DON'T LAUGH? WHERE? Yes- it depends where the gig is - sometimes it hurts at the Prince Patrick in Collingwood, sometimes at the Espy in St Kilda.

6. IS SEXUAL INNUENDO LOSING ITS APPEAL OR IS YOUR WORK BECOMING MORE CRASS TO GET LAUGHS? That was two questions. And what a lovely PAIR they were.

7. WHAT MAKES YOU LAUGH? Innocent humour. Real humour. Things people don't mean to be funny, but are.

8. SO, WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD? Because the person who wrote the joke shouted at it.

9. PLEASE FINISH THIS SENTENCE: "ADELAIDE, CITY OF........" "... shallow bush graves.

10. HOW WOULD YOU LIKE ADELAIDE AUDIENCES TO REMEMBER YOU? Adelaide audiences are usually great. They're loyal and I hope they remember me by accessing their frontal lobes.
