Know especially like men of that generation, it's just very because it must have been so different with. His father, and so and yeah, just it's just not a way of communication that we're as used to. So I do think that's why sometimes it can be a real struggle to say some of those things because if you send them to anyone else then you know That they would go on an illicit kind of emotional response that you would”

“Like present in our lives and wasn't as consumed with work. And I think that was a good decision of his. And so I think that's why I'm aware that it's even more important, like, to make sure that I address that work-life balance thing when my child comes along, because I do want to. Have enough time to like, you know, be attentive and present parent.”

“I don't know. And I look at him and I'm like, oh, what will I take from him when I become a dad? And, you know, I think. He's surprising, he is more affectionate though than people think because that's obviously not an aspect of him that you ever see on any of the Netflix shows or on his podcast or whatever. But like, I don't know, just, yeah, watching how he is with my niece and knowing what he was like when we were like very little. It's like... I want to be like that. And he took a decision in his life as well. You know, he had a very successful career and was a producer and an agent. And then he really did wind it all down and stop when we were kids and spent, I mean, I know again, we went to boarding school, so we were a way for a period of our youth, but he did, you know, spend a lot of time with us and he was very...”

“I think so, but I think mainly from hearing me talk about it when he's not there, because I don't think I necessarily would ever articulate these feelings to him. Because that's not like the nature of our relationship. The reality is a lot of the time when we're talking, we're talking about, you know. We talk about work stuff quite a bit. We talk about football. We'll talk about current affairs, things like that, but we don't really talk about our emotions and never really have. But I think he knows it. And I think. Think he's, yeah, I think he's very, very, very aware of it. And I'm glad that he is as well. I'm glad that he knows how much he means to me because I don't think I would necessarily be able to say it to him if he were sat in front of me.”

“You know, a really good relationship with my dad, and we watched your show, and then we went away and we did a trip together, and it was one of the, I'm so happy that we did it. And, you know, and the flip side of that is I have people that, you know, maybe lost a parent and have watched the show and really connected to it because it's reminded them of the relationship that they had with their father when they were around. And I think, you know, I know how lucky I am to have had that experience with him and continue to have experiences with him and to work with him. And it never feels like work when I'm doing stuff with him. Honestly, it's, I mean, partly because of the shooting hours that he insists upon and the hour-long break for lunch with a wine present, wherever we are, whatever.”

“Wanted to have a baby because I wanted him to be around to know my child and to spend time with my kid. I've seen how amazing he is with my niece.

Do all of these things, and have success in my career that I can share with him and he can see these things and enjoy them. I love having him there for all of that.

“Yeah, I think so. I think so. Because when I do something that he doesn't think is. Good enough, which you know does happen from time to time. He will let me know. He's very honest and he's one of the few people that will really cut through everything and just be very honest with me. I mean, the other thing that we haven't sort of touched upon, and again, is something that's very present in my mind with all of this in terms of having a baby, in terms of... Know trying to achieve as much as I can in my career is that I want to do all of it with him around. And obviously I know that that's not going to be the case forever. And so... Think that, yeah.

“Yeah, yeah, that's coming out this summer, which was a movie. Yeah, we shot that a couple of years ago, actually, been waiting a while for it to go through the editorial process, which is another element that I find so frustrating with films is that you film it and then it takes years for it to come out.

“Performing it. I don't know. I think that's something that I've learned. Like I can really sell a joke, which is maybe sometimes to my detriment because, you know, I could write better routines if it weren't, but I don't need to. I don't know. That makes it sound like I'm lazy because I'm really working the material as much as I can to try and make it as good as it possibly can be. I've got really good delivery basically.

“My dad who's been amazing and has always kind of helped advise me and finding those kind of people that you can sort of work with and put around you and people as well that will challenge you and people that will call you out if needs be I think if you surround yourself with the wrong people that's a very surefire way of heading off in the wrong direction and I feel very lucky that I've got good people around me and have always been able to find good people to put around me and build good relationships with people that are important. Ultimately that's having a good judge of character as well. I think that's a really important aspect.”

“I would say. Important elements that I have. I do think I always say this to comedians, I do think you have to build a resilience. And the ability to kind of learn from your mistakes and your missteps and take on board. Criticism and use it to get better, that's definitely an important aspect. I think recognizing People that could be good collaborators could be Helpful. I've been very lucky that I've had a lot of really, really great people around me. That guy mentioned Ben Cavey. I've worked with him for nearly 15 years, my writing partner Freddie. I've had some really good agents.”

“I'm aware of it. So I always feel like I don't want to be a disappointment in real life as well to people, especially fans or whatever, if I meet people and they have an expectation of me. I always feel the need to kind of, you know, not let them down. I think that's why I've always said it's like so much easier if you're Jack D or even my dad. It's like his persona is sort of grumpy, deadpan. That's very easy to maintain in real life. Mine is just like over-enthusiastic clown. And I'm like, oh, that is quite a lot to maintain all of the time. And especially if you're having a bad day or you're tired or, you know. To have that spark in your day-to-day life can be quite tiring.”

I think I definitely drink as like a crutch because I find it so much easier in certain situations that are overwhelming to have a drink and I maybe lean on that a little bit too much.

“This is something I think about a lot that kind of disparity between the comedian that you see on stage and the comedian that is there in real life. And I think I'm relatively close to the person that you see on television or the person that you watch on stage. Obviously that's like a heightened version of myself. And I think the reality is the thing that people will find most surprising is that sometimes I'm quite quiet person, I'm quite introspective. I can be a little bit shy in some social situations. I think people would be surprised at that. But then I'm also so conscious of like, oh, I don't want that to ever come across as me being rude or aloof.”

“Well, I called it settle down because it is sort of about this period of my life where I am settling down, becoming a little bit more of an adult. A lot of my comedy before and my previous tours, it's all about being the sort of man child and that's kind of like, I guess, you know, on stage on this sort of foppish man baby and Telling stories of drunken hijinks and putting my foot in it and generally just being a bit of a sort of clown. And this show has an element of that and an element of me being self-aware enough to be like, this is definitely the like the last show where I can be telling those stories. And maybe this is the last moment of my life where I can lean into that. And, you know, that was the sort of.”

“I was talking to the, I can't remember who it was, but I was talking to an actor, a successful actor. This is about the appeal of stand-up and how you never really get that moment. No matter how big of a movie you make, you might go to a premiere and it gets a great reaction. And that's amazing. And you have good reviews and it does great at the box office or whatever. But like that thrill of the live experience, I think it's why so many actors want to be musicians and end up in bands and whatnot so they can have that like experience. And like that thing of like going out in front of a huge crowd and like having that live experience and connection with them is like the best thing in the world and it's so hard to replicate that anywhere else.”

“Weirdly, I'm actually kind of excited for it to just start and to just be doing it. The bit that's a bit of a slog is the sort of build up to it and the writing of it and getting it already in time and booking all of the venues and doing the promo and talking through the design. And, you know, it's a whole production and it's just, and it all has to come through me, it's quite hard to delegate when you're building something like that. And so I'm really, really excited to just be then on the road doing the shows and that's all I have to worry about. And I remember that I remember this feeling before in the run-up to the show being like, I'm just desperate for the first one to come about so I can then just like actually be doing it.

I think people will be surprised when they find out that a lot of people were with friends and family when I told them, I think, because they just didn't think that I was necessarily ready for it, which again, like in my weird mentality just makes me go, oh, I'm going to prove you.

I barely engaged to do it at all because I'm so distracted with other things. And so it's a really weird emotional place to be in right now, like this sort of run up to having a kid. And I've spoken to lots of friends that have been in this period as well. And a lot of them have said that that's quite normal as well.

“Being on set and like anecdotes about script reads and whatever like that's not interesting comedy material for anyone and fame as well I don't think is necessarily always the best kind of you know source of relatable stand up so I think it's really important as a comedian to have that time to go and like live your life and build up some experiences and find inspiration as it naturally occurs rather than trying to force it”

“Taking some time off as well and having a little bit of headspace. I mean, the pandemic was weirdly a time when we were forced to do that. And I found it very helpful creatively to not be working all the time. And this stand-up tour, I've had longer to prepare for it than I've ever had and have had way more kind of headspace and space to like live my life a bit, which is so important when you're creating and you're writing, especially when you're trying to, you know, write personal material, you need to live your life. You can't be working all the time because then all of your experiences are going to be professional ones. No one wants to go and watch Stan-At Comedian sell a load of jokes about what it's like.”
