My comedy is for children from three to 93. You do need a slightly childish sense of humour and if you haven't got that, it's very sad.

What I like doing most is making children laugh.

You see I'm semi-retired now and don't work all the time, only most of it!

I'd date someone younger or older; age doesn't matter to me. Or looks, really - it's all about maturity.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.

If you're going to go to an audition, you don't want to go in trying to force yourself into some archetype that has been thought up by a director and translated by a casting director.
