This is the EP I made of the songs from my first Edinburgh Fringe Show, "Stand Up Between Songs" in 2010. I had CDs made and I sold them after the show and very few people bought them. This was very discouraging and I never tried it again. I was nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Newcomer for that show which was life changing and gave me a career in comedy.

Third World Girl did not feature in the show and I've rarely performed it live but I love it and is a good example of what I try to do with musical comedy. It's a really good song which has something to say and it's very funny.

My childhood friend Peter Cochrane produced the songs for me in his studio in Kilburn, North London and did an excellent job. He was very cool and was in proper bands. He played bass for Amy Winehouse and nearly made it big in the band Palladium. They supported Mika on tour. He'd turn up in really cool outfits. One day he'd be in leathers like a biker with a chain around his neck. Another day he'd turn up in a cream suit like David Bowie.

I get really anxious in the creative process when working with other people and I'm very worried about hurting people's feelings when expressing opinions. I can remember getting very uptight about whether we'd get everything done as I was paying Peter a daily rate for a week which I couldn't really afford but he was very nice about it and said not to worry if we went over time.

I performed Dave the Fridge on BBC 3 on Russell Howard's Good News in 2011. You can see the video on You Tube. In this version I try to sing a bit like Morrissey which is a strange choice in retrospect. I think in the recording process I wasn't confident enough to just be me, for it to sound like I do when I'm performing live, and tried to sound like other things.

My mum loves the Mum Song and plays it to anyone who comes round which I think is weird because, though sweet and sentimental, it's actually quite critical.

I performed an edited version of Don't Go out With on Live at the Electric on BBC 3. You can see it on You Tube. The producer said that I didn't have to edit it if I didn't want, but then told me the verses he thought I should take out. In the end they edited it in post-production and messed up the order so the chord progression didn't work. The wardrobe lady was obsessed with getting me to wear a horrible pink checked shirt from Gap which I hated. You can see that I'm wearing it on the video. If I ever appear on TV again I will insist on wearing something I don't hate. She also wanted me to take off my wedding ring because the song is from the point of view of someone who is not married, which is really stupid because everyone knows song aren't literally true. Just because you're saying you're happy and you know it, it doesn't mean you really are, however much you clap your hands.

In this version of Don't Go Out With we have done an insane reggae version which I actually kind of love, although it is not how I perform it live. It reminds me of Bob Dylan's crazy version of Shelter from the storm which he did live

This Song Could be Used in Adverts is inspired by my favourite band Blur. The comedian Josh Widdecombe once told me he loved that song and thought it sounded like Blur. I was very happy. I remember this song got a good review in the show at the time which I realise in myself gives me and extra fondness for it, but it shouldn't. I have since stopped reading reviews and encourage you to do the same. Do what you do. It might not be perfect but you're working it out, and frankly that's none of anybody else's business. If people like what you do and get something out of it then that's great. If people don't then that's not your problem, it's their job to find what they like.

I hope to be putting out more material soon. I like the version of myself that was excited and creative enough to produce an EP even though it was my first show. I should have carried on doing that, no matter what anybody else said.
