Mario Joyner enjoys his freedom.
“I do only what I want to do and nothing that I don’t. I just work out, eat, sleep, date, tell jokes. That’s all I do really,” the charming – and unsurprisingly very chilled out – comedian tells me in the lounge of a swanky seafront hotel.
“I have such a relaxed life, simply because I have no-one to answer to. I’m 47-years-old, I have no kids, I have no wife, it’s just me. I can go when I want. I can wake up when I want, I have no need for alarm clocks, I have no real job – this is no real job,” he says, somewhat modestly – on 11 November he’ll have been doing standup comedy for 25 years.
