GAP YAH Youtube Sensation speaks with Just Be

So you’re an expert on gap years. Where would you recommend?
I would thoroughly recommend that Aussies continue coming to Britain for their gap years. The population exchange between Britain and Australia is vital for the future of Western civilisation and for the profits of bars in London and Sydney.

Did you go to Tanzanah?

I did, but I promise I didn’t call it that when I went there..

Tell us about the beginning of your acting career with the Oxford Revue?
The Oxford Revue is something a rag-tag band that, despite a heritage stretching back to Michael Palin in the 1950s, had a variable output depending on who was in it. I was lucky enough to have been in it with some very talented people and it was a great introduction to transforming silly things I’d written into comedy that an audience could legitimately be charged money to watch.

Where is the best place to meet a girl who is spiritually, culturally and politically awahre?

Talk us through your grooming routine.
My owner occasionally brushes me to ensure that I have a glossy coat.

You’re performing at Fringe in August? Tell us about that.I’m performing in two shows this year. The first is a two-handed show with Tom Williams (who co-wrote the internet hit Newport State of Mind) called Mythbunkers, about two guys who make it their business to work against people who debunk myths by ‘bunking’ them. I’m also returning to the Gilded Balloon with my sketch group The Unexpected Items for an hour of varied comedy. I’m really looking forward to it – Edinburgh is a brilliant city and the festival is a great time to be there.
