“Are you most comfortable as a stand-up, or do you see yourself more as a presenter now?
I don’t think I’m ever comfortable.”

“I’m not right for television. I did Mock the Week and found it agonising. The desperation, the amount of preparation that had clearly gone into the ‘ad libs’ – the attitude of ‘this could make me a millionaire’. I think it brings out the worst in comedians, a horrible locker room mentality; the elbows are out, desperate to be the one who gets the laugh.”

You can find a really insightful set of videos here entitledA Coffee With…, in which a given stand-up chats all things comedy for around half an hour to a very keen young interviewer.

This one features science superfan, friend of Brian Cox, and semi-professional Morrissey impersonator Robin Ince, but there are others (Richard Herring, Michael Legge and Milton Jones being some of the big hitters on show).

'Cheesy Showbiz'

'American Goth'

hollysses:

So last night was pretty fucking amazing. I saw Robin Ince’s ‘Bad Book Club’ which was bloody hilarious- it make me cringe, belly laugh, giggle and also shocked me (one of the books, ‘How to pick up sexy girls’, had advice on how to remove a girl’s blouse that went something along the lines of: ‘with a willing girl, you must first untuck the blouse, then undo the buttons. With a recently calmed girl, the opposite applies’ RECENTLY CALMED bloody hell!)

Anyway I interviewed him afterwards. He’s one of my all-time favourite comedians and I was really nervous. I shouldn’t have been though, as he was, of course, super, super lovely! One of my favourite interviewees because he’s so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about such a wide range of topics.

After the interview I got a few pictures with him and for the second one he said ‘Let’s do American Goth, just stare moodily at the camera’ so I put my really long fringe in my eyes and has a scowl. I fucking love both of these photos! ahahah
