It's that, like, for me, one of the key reasons for doing the...

for being a comedian, for doing a job where I could be a writer and a comedian, was so that I could get up late.

That was sort of one of the key things because, A, I was an insomniac from when I was a kid, insomniac from when I was six.

I gradually thought, how can I have a job where I don't have to get up?

Yeah.

And this is over a long period of time.

It's not when I was six.

How can I have a job where I don't have to get up really in the morning because I won't have slept properly at night?

And then I realized, okay, I'll do comedy, which is nuts at some level because then what happens is you go to bed later and later and later.

Sleeping after a gig is really hard and whatever.

But you can get up if you want at 1 p.m.

Now, I don't do that anymore, but I did do that for a very long time.

My body clock was probably completely set wrong.

It might have been set right for Australia, Max, if I lived in Britain.

You see what I mean?

Yeah.

Yeah, of course.

I still get up quite late is my point.

And the shed.

Don't forget, it also involves a shed.
