My morning ritual is …
Get up and go to the gym – usually for 90 minutes. No coffee, no breakfast – I don’t eat in the morning, probably until 1pm or 2pm.
I feel optimistic about …
Life. In 2019, I was on-stage in Dubai and, just as I got to my last joke, my heart decided it was going to stop pumping oxygenated blood around my body. I went into heart failure. That put me into hospital for about two and a half weeks. When I got back in the UK, I suffered a TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack), which is a mini-stroke. It’s given me an appreciation of life. I don’t think any of us really have that – we act like we’re immortal. There are so many things people do, from a risk point of view, that we don’t think about. It gave me a fresh perspective of going “I now know what I can lose.”
What makes me angry …
I’m a lot more chilled out than I ever was, purely because of the heart failure. But two things make me angry. One is rudeness. Rudeness is a choice. You can be angry at someone but you don’t need to be rude. The second is the state of the world we live in. It’s in this state because a minority of people are drunk with power.
