What have been your favourite projects to work on?

Recently, I got to perform a play that I wrote myself. There was a director and another actor too but I was also in charge of putting the play on. As an actor, I am now a lot more appreciative of all the hard work that goes into making a show happen.

What was your favourite childhood story?

The picture book I Went to the Zoo. I made my mum read it to me so many times that she can still recite it all off by heart 30 years later!

What sort of imaginary monster would you invent?

A monster that eats other monsters and every time they do, they get a little less like a monster themselves. That way by the time they’ve finished eating all the other monsters, they are no longer a monster either and we can all live happily in a monster-free world!

What sort of imaginary monster would you invent?

A giant pygmy goat with a bright yellow feather Mohican on its head and a fluffy ball of cotton candy for a body. It would trick you with its cuteness and then hit you with a supersonic sneeze.

I’d never say no to a margarita pizza I’m not gonna lie!

What sort of imaginary monster would you invent?

One that’s small and fluffy and could sit on my shoulder, it wouldn’t do much, it would just be loving life.
