Used to wear my mum’s clothes.

What annoys my parents about me most is…

People say I look just like…
The caddy from Happy Gilmore.

If I could rid the world of three people they would be…
The three Kardashian sisters.

Read my comment above.

People who text while they are driving…

The world should take notice of my…
Beard. I started the whole beard thing.

My worst habit is…
Picking my nose when I think people aren’t looking.

My most impressive feature is my…
Chin.

I am frightened of…
My comedy superannuation fund being empty at the end of my career.

When it comes to Christians I think…
