It changed my family and my friend's life in some ways.

But comedy is the thing that it's...

It's so pure for me as an art form.

You go on stage, there is just me and a microphone.

TV, you get a chance to maybe say the thing again.

You've got auto cue.

You've got the different ways you can change it.

But comedy just feels very pure.

You're flying without a net.

Whatever happens on the day.

Yeah, it happens.

And I really missed it.

I realized – I remember doing a show and I performed and –

I just felt like I wasn't myself because I remember doing some standup and, you know, I could see, and I'm not an edgy comic.

I'm not edgy.

I'm not provocative anyway.

I don't feel like, you know, I'm offensive for no reason.

But I remember just delving into anything, anything that might, you know, political that I don't, that's not really my bag, but at the same time I could tell my audience, this audience that have followed me for such a while, this was a work in progress show.

And they're all a bit like,

I don't know if you can say that because you do that TV thing now, you know, you're, you're that TV personality.
