Growing up, I watched shows such as 'Blackadder' and 'Monty Python' with my parents.
I've seen a lot of shows, but I can't possibly cram in everything that I'd like to, and it's exhausting trying to.
I always performed as a kid to make my family laugh and was more concerned with making kids at school laugh than I was about the lessons.
I always had the desire to perform. If it wasn't my career now, I'd still be doing amateur dramatics. It's just something you love, and when you get paid to do it, you pinch yourself every day.
I went to drama school and, after that, went to Paris to train at a place called Ecole Philippe Gaulier. When I came home, I realised I'd have to have a serious stab at it. I didn't have an agent and didn't have the traditional drama school showcase, so I started a comedy group with a couple of friends.
