I'm a very recent convert to the gay scene. I went to a party a couple of years ago and met a very nice man who took me under his wing and started taking me out to clubs. It was a revelation.

People will love something very much or hate something very much. But the great thing about a sketch show is that if something comes along that you don't like, something else will come along in a minute that hopefully you might like that.

I finally learned to love myself by dressing up as Geri Halliwell.

When I left school I was full of angst, like any teenager, and I channeled it all into comedy.

I was hoping that the appeal of the show would stretch beyond the anglophile and comedy-obsessed.

We've found that our lives are beginning to change, that the press, for instance, has taken an interest in us and our lives.

I mean comedy is something that's very personal and people have strong opinions about.
