Who’s funnier: the Irish, New Yorkers, or Australians? Well, you are turning me into a politician here. There won’t be any New Yorkers at my show so let’s face it they are just not funny. The Irish are very funny but they already know me from my TV work. It’s clear to me that the Australians are the funniest people in the world, not to mention the best looking, the most intelligent, sexiest and most inclined to see my show people in the world.
What can we expect from your show? My show is just a fun show about getting older, watching your friends and family have kids, while still living the life of a 20-year-old into my 40s. I am a bridge between two generations. There is some fabulously dirty stuff at the end too that I am very proud of. I am trying to bring smutty back in a PC, sex-positive way.
What’s the biggest thing you’ve realised as you’ve gotten older? That worrying about other people’s opinions is not only a waste of time but stifles your creativity.
What’s the greatest moment you’ve had onstage? At the Edinburgh Fringe in 2010, I had a show about my Dad’s life. During the Melbourne run, Jason Byrne told me I should get my Dad on stage at the end. It should be mentioned that he was dying of lung cancer at the time. He stayed healthy long enough to fly to Edinburgh and join me on stage every night to standing ovations. A great closer to our show and his life.
