The star, who is in the latest series of Taskmaster on Channel 4, says the pandemic means he can’t make any stand-up cash.
He said: “People think if you’re on TV you’re loaded. I’m not. All the stand-up has been postponed.
“I don’t want to play in a quarter-full room. And I certainly don’t want to endanger anybody by trying to get back to work too quickly – says someone who hasn’t written his show yet!”
