And I remember the day getting the email and I sat in my little office with two other PhD students and I saw that email come through and I sort of scrolled down and I saw my name on it and I couldn't.

could not believe I could not believe it I've got I've got the email I printed it I've got the email and I and because of course I there was no guarantee that that would ever lead to a career in it at all but it felt like this isn't at the time this was massive for me but I then had to get permission from my supervisor to then take basically two months off because I was going to be away in August for the fringe and then there was like a little tour afterwards in September

And so, and I had a load of field work to do before then in Faroe.

So I remember like June or July of that year, pretty much been up in the Faroe Islands.

And I remember coming back and then leaving to then basically go up to Edinburgh.

I remember looking back at the Bullard Laboratories where I was based and it was such a romantic thing.

But I remember so specifically looking back and knowing that I would never,

come back I just had it in my I was like and of course that's delusion that's delusional that's blind optimism whatever you want to call it but I just had that feeling and like thank goodness it worked out I mean I'm so lucky but I had that feeling and it came good and I can't believe it it's like a movie as you go it's going away and you're looking back and you're like I'll never be going back there it was like a voiceover in my head and actually Morgan Freeman probably voicing it exactly where the Belinda Bunch is is actually quite picturesque it's like a field with horses and it was the summer and the trees were swaying and I was like

And then, of course, the reality is that, oh, well, you still need to do enough to do an MPhil, otherwise you've been paid to do this.

So I still then had to do another year.

And then it was like, move to London.

Well, I can't afford to do comedy in London.

And so I was doing open mic stuff, but I then had to work for Morgan Stanley.

To like pay my way, you know, I had to go work in the day.

So it's not nearly as like, you know, clear cut as that.

And I think now, and this is probably...

you know, having had kids now, like when I like look back at that, I'm like, oh my God, that is just, I can't believe I was sort of almost like brave enough to like make that decision.

But of course you don't have the responsibilities as you do when you're a bit older.

And if you're ever going to make those decisions, great to make them when you're young.

I mean, you know, that's the time to make them.
