So then, tell us about your show?

They've been good fun. No one has thrown a shoe at me like at a Christmas gig I did recently.

How are you going to keep it fresh for the full three weeks?

Green tea and chocolate digestives with caramel hidden inside them

Is it ultimately worth coming to the Fringe?

Yes. Because I get to eat a tatty dog

Do you have a guaranteed, surefire flyering technique?

Cover the flyer in batter

What's your health regime for the Fringe?

Burpees

What's the worst mistake people make at the Fringe?

Taking it too seriously

Last year's Fringe was all about the London riots. What major news event do you think will force you to hurriedly rewrite your 2012 show?

The apocalypse.

Do you pay your taxes?

What are they?

What was your favourite joke when you were a kid?

Why did the Mexican throw his wife off a bridge?
