And I was suddenly introduced to the Edinburgh Festival at like 26, 25 maybe.
Went up there and went... Sorry, went... I didn't know any of this was going on.
I didn't know there was this incredible... Which is after you quit or before?
This was after I'd... Quit Shell.
After I'd quit Shell, went up to the Edinburgh Festival.
The first year I went up there, I went up there with...
Ricky Gervais and Steve Merchant and Robin Ince.
And we went up and did a show together.
Did you?
And we all did sort of 20 minutes in the show.
And then The Office hit that summer.
Can you remember that you performed?
Or the first one you delivered?
I do remember it.
It was about being working class kids talking about being boxers.
And they always talk about there's only one way out.
I said, I was growing up, I was very middle class.
We lived in a cul-de-sac.
There was only one way out.
It's a perfectly serviceable joke-shaped thing.
