How would you describe your comedy style to people who haven’t met you?
Do you remember when you first decided to become a comedian?
When I started working in a shoe store. I knew that if I accepted the job, I had no choice but to write such a good joke that I could stop working in the shoe store.
What is it like to make a room of fans/strangers laugh on stage?
It feels good, especially recently. You can see that people really want to go out for a walk, and there is a real sense of gratitude on both sides.
What advice do you have for anyone considering a career in comedy?
Don’t tell anyone and perform under a different name. No one praises you, you will get better soon. But don’t choose the huge one, it’s mine, and it’s a stupid name.
Journey: The giant Davis returns to the show
Do you have any pre-show rituals or superstitions?
I often have to make myself grumpy so that I can correctly make expressionless movements. If I am in a good mood, I will go to the corner and be unhappy for 5 minutes. To everyone’s expectations, I am usually in a good mood, but it is annoying.
During the time you participated in, what did you think changed in the comedy scene?
I think comedians think more about what they say, which is a good thing. If you can’t be funny without sacrificing others, then you are not a good comedian.
What is the best thing about becoming a comedian?
Traveled all over the UK. Not many people can say that they have actually been to every part of their country.
What is the worst thing about being a comedian?
Go to Kent. A great place with many beautiful trees, but the worst performance in the world.

If you are not a comedian, what do you think you will do now?
May work in the kitchen. The cooking is great. And I just watched Ratatouille. If I have been watching Batman, I might say that I want to be a butler of superheroes.
Can you tell me a favorite joke? It does not have to be one of you.
If you can type your favorite joke, no one needs to stand up comedy. But if you visit me, I start talking about Wallace and Gromit, that is my favorite joke.
