Louise Young: ‘Some hecklers are just excited to be out of the house’
The comic on mining her wild life for material and her disastrous early gigs shouting punchlines over Sky Sports in a pub
Why did you start doing comedy?
I wanted to write funny material, and the only real way into it seemed to be getting on a stage. Well, “stage” is a strong word – standing in a section of a pub at an open mic night and trying to say some funny things.
What has been one of your all-time favourite gigs?
Once a gig cancelled the day before and still paid me the full fee. That was wonderful.
