Joel Dommett: Nunchuck Silver Medallist 2002

So then, tell us about your show?
Its called NUNCHUCK SILVER MEDALIST 2002.. and its about me being a nunchuck master at a young age and seeking a just revenge against my school arch nemesis...

How have your previews been going?
Previews have been going well! I love putting together an Edinburgh show... its like being in CSI... you have collected loads of evidence (stories) and you have to weave it together to make sense and solve the crime (laughter). OK, its not like being in CSI at all. BUT FUN NONETHELESS.

How are you going to keep it fresh for the full three weeks?
I like to change things about to make things interesting for me... I'll make the order different so it keeps me on my toes. And failing that I'll wear a different pair of pants.

Is it ultimately worth coming to the Fringe?
Absolutely. Its my favourite month of the year. That was so enthusiastic it sounded sarcastic but I genuinely mean it. Other comics tend to turn to me for optimism 2.5 weeks in.

Do you have a guaranteed, surefire flyering technique?
I flyer women when I'm inside them. Luckily I have a flyering team because I didn't flyer anybody last year.

What's your health regime for the Fringe?
I eat sausage rolls constantly then burn it all off by running up cobbled hills to get to gigs.

What's the worst mistake people make at the Fringe?
Drinking too much in the first week. People tend to peak too soon then by the second week they want to go home to drink more to soften the pain and end up DEAD. I exaggerate but you get the idea.

Last year's Fringe was all about the London riots. What major news event do you think will force you to hurriedly rewrite your 2012 show?
I hope the Olympians start rioting. Javelins being thrown at riot vans and shot-puts being thrown through shop windows to grab some hoodies. People running from the scene of the crime faster then the police in their cars. Incredible scenes.

Do you pay your taxes?
Probably.

What was your favourite joke when you were a kid?
Tennis is wonderful because even if you don't score you still have love. (I had a severely sheltered upbringing.)

Who else are you hoping to see while you're in Edinburgh?
LOADS... James Acaster, Benny Boot, Josh Widdicombe, Pat Butcher, Joe Lycett...
