13．I don't like getting up too early unless I have to．When you're filming，you've got make-up on，which doesn't happen often．As I'm not filming at present I'll get up at 8.30．
Work normally means Matt coming over to my house about 10am．We're writing at the moment．We'll chat for a bit before going to my study．One of us will have an idea for a sketch （梗概），we'll talk about the characters and when we feel we have enough we'll start writing．
Matt and I met at the National Youth Theatre in 1990and started doing shows together in'95，at the Edinburgh Fringe festival．We know we're onto something if we've made each other laugh，and that's a really special moment．It's not always like that，but we're comfortable enough with each other that we can be honest and go．Some days you're not in the mood to be funny-like writing when my dad was dying of cancer，or when Matt was separating from his partner．
We stop for lunch and sometimes go to Wagamama in Camden，but the last time we were followed by paparazzi （狗仔隊），which gets you down-who wants to be pictured eating noodles？
When I'm not writing with Matt I work on other projects．My second children's book comes out later in the year．It's called Mr．Stink．The first one I dedicated to my three-year-old nephew，Eddie．Both books have been illustrated by Quentin Blake； it's been a thrill to work with him-like 20years ago reading a Roald Dahl book and looking at those drawings，then one day that person illustrates your work…magical．
At 5I go swimming in Soho．My trainer makes me do horrible exercises，but I always feel better after．
Being in all day，I like to go out in the evening and look smart，but not like I've come out of the City．I'm a tall，broad guy and well-dressed．
For dinner I'll meet friends．When you're a single guy it's great to have some good female friends．Or I might take my mum to the theatre，as I know she really appreciates it．I like watching TV comedy shows to see what everyone's doing．When you see something impressive it makes you work harder．I also love Larkin's poems：they don't try to transcend （超越） the commonplace； they're much more straightforward．
Poetry is great to dip into before going to bed，rather than falling asleep reading a novel and being confused over what you've read or not．I haven't had a good night's sleep in seven years； unfortunately，I rely on pills．I've tried everything．If I could wish anything for myself，I'd wish I could sleep better．
