Hi James! Thanks for taking the time to do this. I have a few questions, feel free to answer any or none:
a) How long did you spend rehearsing every line of the TED / presentation style bits you did?
b) When answering the scammers / supermarkets / swimming pool companies, did you reply already thinking about what would be funniest for your stand-up?
c) When stuttering, how much of it is for comedic effect and how much is unintended e.g. because of nervousism?

Thanks!

The comment above me and the fact that the user has the name "JamesVeitch" led me to believe it was you

Wow, that's super insightful, thanks for the reply! Nervousism was the wrong word - I used it because I saw the video of you rewatching your first performance at Conan and you pointed out how you were nervous that day and at one point you were saying things until the right thing came out repeatedly and your reaction made it seem unintentional, but I might be wrong. But it doesn't really matter, thanks for the reply and enjoy the rest of the AMA
