Like everything else calms down and it's like,

It's the only time in my day I really feel relaxed is when I'm on a stage and the lights are down.

I just love it.

All the noise is gone and you just have to make people laugh.

It's the best feeling in the world.

But then it's also isolated and I'm a very social person.

And so going in and getting to create radio with one of my best friends and with a team fuels me in a completely different way.

So I'm a greedy little piggy and I'm saying I like to do both.

Yeah.

I'm also, I'm attempting to add another string to my bow.

I've become obsessed with poetry, Sarah.

It's so embarrassing.

I'm doing, I'm reading it, writing it, all of it.

And I've started doing at my stand-up gigs, I've started doing a secret little gig afterwards where I read people some poems.

I take them into the, it sounds sus and I promise it's not, but I take them into the toilet of the theatre and I only take like five or six people in.

And we cram in a toilet and I stand on the shitter and read poetry.

And the reviews so far have largely been people saying, is this poetry?

That's been mainly the reviews.

I think they're so confused and it's fair enough because it's confusing and I realise my poems don't rhyme or anything and people don't know when they're over so I've started having to say at the end of each poem,

Poetry.
