"We humans just keep going heartbreak after heartbreak, it’s great and devastating in equal measures and of course it’s also very funny."

"A couple came up to us after the show and shared with us that they had recently lost their child, and that we made them laugh for the first time IN months, and that they were just so grateful. I went to the bathroom and just sobbed."

"I had an audience member come out as bisexual publicly during one of my sets, then ask me out during my set. The actual date we went on was pretty meh, but... it's a very big and flattering vote of confidence."

"Children and inebriated adults share a lot of similarities, and you know pretty quickly if you’ve chosen someone to come up who is going to be a bit of a loose cannon! "

"I have been told not to come to Edinburgh with expectations and to try and be present and understand my job is to perform every day, not to read reviews and obsess about certain things that will fluctuate like attendance."

"From my 3-week Melbourne Comedy Festival experience, I found comedy shows become like castles. I start staring at them with a glazed expression after the first dozen!"

"One year at the fringe a very drunk couple in their 70s were snogging in my front row. It was adorable but also really unnerving. Things started to escalate and I had to put a stop to it."
