"(LAUGHS)" "And I am looking for love." "I'll admit, I'm looking for love." "Gotta get that citizenship, you know." "(LAUGHS)" "But it's hard to date on a budget." "I remember going for a date and the woman made more money than me." "No problem." "We're in the 21st century but I was ashamed." "I remember the waiter came up and assumed I was gonna pay." "Put the bill in front of me." "I had to go..." ""I'll get the next one."" "I felt so pathetic watching her pay." "I wanted to so badly to be part of the transaction so I just took the change."

"I'm so thrilled." "I think that's better than the first." "What I love about you..." "(CHEERING)" "What I think is so important about comedy is it has to be very near the edge of edginess." "And you were so on the edge that it made us howl with laughter." "I mean, it was naughty, edgy, fresh... (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) And the best thing about you... is that nobody can nick your material." "Michael McIntyre can't take your stuff." "Nobody can take your stuff." "You are unique and you smashed it." "I'm proud of you." "Well done." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Simon." "Can you...er..." "Can you remind me how old you are again?" "I'm 37.  37." "You look good." "I have to tell you something." "You are one of the funniest people we've ever had on this show." "I think you're..." "I love the fact you are so fantastically non-PC." "I think it's..." "I really do." "And I think that's part of the reason why everybody likes you so much." "I said this earlier in the week and I'm gonna say this about you." "I think this show can be an amazing showcase for somebody like you." "And I would be amazed..." "Actually, I don't want to say this." "I've jinxed it before." "What I'm thinking is this." "That you are the sort of person who, off the back of this... ..your phone should be ringing in three days time offering you your own show." "You should be on TV more often." "The one thing I've noticed about comedians, they are quite selfish and the same people seem to be on a lot." "I think there's a real..." "(GUFFAWS) a real gap in the market for you and it's your personality, your sense of fun which I believe is gonna put you in the final." "And you deserve it." "(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)" "I second that." "I pray people pick up the phone and put you in the final." "When you were on first time round," "Jack Whitehall called me and said he used to do gigs with you and I said, "Why isn't he the biggest comedy star in the UK?"" "He said, "He's never been given the right break." Tonight is the right break." "(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) You're gonna be a superstar." "You make uncomfortable topics funny and you made us ugly laugh." "Like, no-one wants to do that." "We were howling." "You're brilliant." "(WILD CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)" "Well, well."
