not the same person.”
“To say you’re one type of comic… yeah you
kind of fit a genre. I’m different from Ronny
Chieng. I’m a different angry to Ronny, he’s
very in your face, like ‘you’re stupid, go
f**k yourself, I went to university’, whereas
I know I’m not as clever as him and my
anger is more physical. I’m more violent,
whereas his anger is very intellectual. One
of my jokes at the moment is, ‘I used to
be a bouncer. Did you hear that? That’s
half the men in the room thinking, ‘oh I can
f*****g take him’’. And then the follow up is
‘yeah, f*****g bring it’. Whereas Ronny is
more like, ‘let me tell you how stupid you
are’. It’s totally different.”
