When I was growing up, and periodically going to India to visit my grandmother, my classmates would often ask me about the trains. There was an exotic fascination with people sitting on top of the carriages.

When we were growing up we were all asked to accept ourselves as British citizens, and I still hold on to this idea that multicultural Britain is possible.

But I like the process of putting a show together and the impact that Edinburgh has on me as a performer.

I got fired from a job years ago. It was an accounting job. They were basically trying to cut corners, so they employed a bunch of temps to do proper accounting. And it just caused absolute bedlam and I did get fired.

My father, Leo Henry Brown, really was talented - he could write. He had a gift, and he had a great, sly humor.

If you keep up with pop culture, everybody knows the joke.

I am trying to work out what my taste is, comedy-wise. I look up to stand up comedians who appear to be telling the truth, but I don't mind if they are lying.

I love comedy, but I was just obsessed with 'SNL' growing up.
