Zitat des Tages von Marcus Brigstocke:
I think it's important never to look yourself up on Wikipedia. I think the temptation to correct any interesting factual errors would be too much.
Eventually, somewhere - be it on the Internet or somewhere else - I will host some version of 'The Daily Show.'
I am not racked with self-loathing. Some issues of guilt and shame, but I'm a pretty good guy.
I've spent a lot of very happy times in Edinburgh as a result of playing virtually every festival since 1996. It's also a beautiful city in its own right, is walkable, within sight of the sea and mountains - and was too far north for the Luftwaffe to have done any damage, hence the spectacularly beautiful architecture.
My purist comedy friends accuse me of being a Jack of all trades and master of none.
I realised that to compare your insides with other people's outsides leads to unhappiness.
I find myself by default an atheist but fairly unhappily so. It would be bloody marvelous if there was a god.
I have an addictive personality. Boarding school merely sent me more quickly on the downward spiral that dominated my childhood.
Never Google yourself. Seriously, don't!
I think Ross Noble is the only person that I've seen really storm a stand-up slot at a festival, and that was when he led 3,000 people on a conga out of the tent and across the entire site to a vegetarian food truck.
I have a very good memory for scripts. I can watch a show I like once, then remember about 90% of the script. But ask me who was in it, and I wouldn't have a clue.
I find it hard to get enthusiastic about hotels because, as a touring comic, I spend a lot of time in them.
I became hugely overweight and then hated myself because it was a form of self-abuse, something over which I had no control. I think the thing compulsive over-eaters want to achieve is that stuffed-full Christmas afternoon feeling.
I stumbled on a joke idea and style that worked, the audience went with it and, from that moment on, I was hooked. It's an amazing feeling.
No one wants life to end. It was bad enough when my last tour came to an end.
