Social satire has been around since people have been around.

I think most people that do comedy write for themselves. I don’t think there is any other way you can do it, really. Otherwise it would be quite cynical.

The most used piece of kit in my kitchen is my saucepan. I use it every morning to cook my porridge in. The least used piece of equipment? I’d say a food mixer. I’ve never used it, I don’t really know what they’re for.
