“I was in a band called Groove Solution. Because there was a groove cri...” — Julian Barratt Quote

I was in a band called Groove Solution. Because there was a groove crisis, and we solved it.

I find the pressure to be funny when you're being interviewed live - quite intense.

My dad listened to a load of jazz - Mahavishnu, Weather Report, Herbie Hancock.

We have a need to make people laugh at things they'd never thought about, make them laugh at things that aren't logical.

We're so insecure, comedians. 'Did you laugh? Do you think I was funny?'

Everybody's been blessed with something, and my gift is my timing. Let's face it, it's all about keeping time and having a groove.

The urge to act became the overriding force in my life. It thrilled me. There's a moment with acting when you're in the groove, and you and what you're trying to do are seamlessly one. That happens sometimes, and I'm really happy it can happen to me.

A lot of times, you land in a city, and you're like, 'This is not my people.' I'm gonna do the show, but you don't feel like this is for you. And then, some places, you just go and just fall into a groove, and you're like, 'This feels right.'

So often, I think shows get into these grooves where they know the characters hit, and they just write for it over and over and over again.
