  • 10 Big Questions: Matt Green

  • 1) Your show, no more than thirty words, go!
    'Loads of hilarious true stories, jokes, chat and fun. It's a show that'll leave you with a massive grin on your face.'

    2) What's your favourite Edinburgh related story?
    'The story of Burke and Hare.'

    3) Who or what makes you laugh?
    'My girlfriend. Often unintentionally.'

    4) What's the best/worst thing about being a comedian?
    'Best thing: the gigs. Worst thing: the travel.'

    5) What gets you in the mood to be funny?
    'Seeing an audience come into the venue and realising that they're waiting for me to be funny.'

    6) What's your favourite children's joke?
    'What do you play when you're bored? A board game! (my brother came up with that when he was about 6. I still think it's brilliant)'

    7) What's the most memorable heckle you've ever received?
    ' "Axolotls!". To be fair, it wasn't a heckle, more a reply to my question: "Does anyone have any pets?" Apparently axolotls are fish with legs. They sound made up to me.'

    8) What subject wouldn't you make a joke about?

    'Comedy reviewers.'

    9) What's your biggest fear?
    'That this Edinburgh will turn out to be a dream and I still have to write my show.'

    10) Complete this sentence: 'A man walks into a bar
    … and has a drink. Then he gets bored so he plays a board game.'
