Totally agree Jack. Don't know anything about her stand-up routines but she is splendid on that 'How'd You Get So Rich?' programme. An absolute joy. And all the rest naturally.

Really like her as well, I remember watching this Richard Herring interview with her a couple of years ago, made me laugh. About 1 hour long.

Good example of how hard work can help the attainment of apparently unrealistic life goals.
