‘People think I’m calm but I’ve got a flash temper’
Miles Jupp, 28, is a popular stand-up comedian and regularly appears on stage and screen. He is also well known as Archie, the inventor in the television series ‘Balamory’. He is performing his stand-up show ‘Johnson and Boswell: Late But Live’ at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe
If I weren’t talking to you right now I’d be…
Desperately trying to get ready for the festival. I’ve got lines to learn and a show to restructure.
A phrase I use far too often is…
‘This is true’ – as a vague response to anything I’m not really interested in.
I wish people would take more notice of…
Other people. In a personal space way. People never seem to be aware of it when I’m walking behind them in London.
The most surprising thing that happened to me…
Was meeting Stephen Fry at a cricket match in Mumbai. He’s my hero.
I’m good at…
Taking difficult catches in cricket. On the field I can do almost nothing else.
I’m very bad at…
Introducing people. I’ll bump into someone when I’m with a friend and we’ll talk until one of them asks if I’m going to introduce them.
The ideal night out is…
Staying in. I’ll usually cook something with my girlfriend. Or she’ll direct and I’ll be the sous-chef.
I am not a politician but…
If I was I would hate myself even more.
A common misperception of me is…
That I’m quite calm and controlled. I’ve got a flash temper. People also always think I’m about 40 when really I’m 28.
In moments of weakness I…
Eat.
In a nutshell, my philosophy is this:
Don’t put off until tomorrow what can be done today. But put some things off, otherwise what will you do tomorrow?
