“I’m waiting for the time when I fail”

People saying it is childish and pretending it is beneath them

We had so much fun in Ghana and they are really lovely people.

Who are always getting things wrong, are much more endearing than comedians who are sassy and smart.

They feel they have to look after their image.

You’re entering dangerous land when you start theorising about comedy.

We only have one agenda, which is to make ’em laugh their pants off.

Because we all fail – and I’m ready, I’ll take up carpentry.

On stage, we just want to generate hysteria. We don’t care about looking cool or posing.

Performers like Tommy Cooper

From the stage I’ve seen people of all ages absolutely roaring at really good toilet humour.

I remember once having to stop performing when I thought an elderly man a few rows back from the front was actually going to die because he was laughing so hard.

Unless they are girls, of course, when it is to make them laugh their bras off so we can get a quick look.

But there is no doubting the effectiveness of a really good willy gag.

Most modern comedy is crap.

There is a lot of rubbish written about toilet humour

A lot of people are obsessed with looking cool.

Addressing the moral failings of black people while ignoring the centuries-old failings of their governments amounts to a bait and switch.

Washing your car and polishing it all up is a never failing sign of rain.

It doesn’t matter if you come from the inner city. People who fail in life are people who find lots of excuses. It’s never too late for a person to recognize that they have potential in themselves.

The worst crime against working people is a company which fails to operate at a profit.

Opinions alter, manners change, creeds rise and fall, but the moral law is written on the tablets of eternity.

A never-failing way to get rid of a fellow is to tell him something for his own good.

[E]conomic history is a long record of government policies that failed because they were designed with a bold disregard for the laws of economics

I failed so many times and got back up. I got through the toughest times with my family, but I’m still standing.
