My mum and dad are Scottish but they moved down to Wolverhampton when I was two, cos they wanted me to sound like a twat.

You have to remember all the trivia that your girlfriend tells you,because eventually you get tested. She'll go: "What's my favourite flower?"
And you murmur to yourself: "Shit, I wasn't listening ... Self-raising?"

Got a phone call today to do a gig at a fire station. Went along. Turned out it was a bloody hoax.

My parents are from Glasgow which means they're incredibly hard, but I was never smacked as a child ... well maybe one or two grams to get me to sleep at night.

A lady with a clipboard stopped me in the street the other day. She said, "Can you spare a few minutes for cancer research?" I said, "All right, but we're not going to get much done."

My dad's dying wish was to have his family around him. I can't help thinking he would have been better off with more oxygen.

Cats have nine lives. Which makes them ideal for experimentation.

I saw that show, 50 Things To Do Before You Die. I would have thought the obvious one was "Shout For Help".

I went out with an Irish Catholic. Very frustrating. You can take the Girl out of Cork ...

Employee of the month is a good example of how somebody can be both a winner and a loser at the same time.

Hey - you want to feel really handsome? Go shopping at Asda.

It's easy to distract fat people. It's a piece of cake.
Chris Addison at the Pleasance

I enjoy using the comedy technique of self-deprecation - but I'm not very good at it.
Arnold Brown at The Stand

If you're being chased by a police dog, try not to go through a tunnel, then on to a little seesaw, then jump through a hoop of fire. They're trained for that.

Milton Jones at the Underbelly

"This door is alarmed." I said to myself: "How do you think I feel?"
