Given that I saw the figure of you putting out an average of 26 videos per month, how much downtime do you actually get?

Obviously YouTube has facilitated this explosion of educational videos like yours (and CGP Grey, Vihart, minutephysics, the vlog brothers etc etc) but to those who don't know about them YouTube is pretty much known for videos of cats riding Roombas - do you think this image conflict inhibits the potential growth to wider audiences?

Do you think that sites like Subbable and Kickstarter are the future towards improved quality and production values?

How long before the TV networks start getting involved / competing / infering? Do you think that the the online brands, which with their sizeable audiences now rivalling successful TV programs, will have more clout online, and what about the YouTube creators crossing over to TV?

Do you think that the explosion in interest of channels like yours is more of a consequence of the geek revolution, or more that they have have helped add momentum to it?

After revealing in your "making of Scale of the Universe" video that you put Dave in touch in Vihart how many more people have now asked you for the same favour?

Having a Japanese girlfriend who mastered in translation between English and Japanese, I particularly enjoyed the nuance of the 1-ish joke as we had loads of discussion about "but we don't have this word in Japanese" when discussing her work. She also relates to all of the other jokes in your video,and we both loved it.

She's coming back to the UK for July and August, is there anywhere that we can come and see you during that time? Ideally in the East of England (Norwich would be ideal ;) )

Given the international attention gained by your video, are you considering expanding a more global platform for your comedy (ie YouTube etc) or will you concentrate on traditional stand up?
