Diet is very important to me, one of my biggest pet peeves about being in the UK and being on tour is that it's really difficult to reliably get good food or get somewhere to work out where they don't insist that you're already a member or something - seems like there's nowhere you can just turn up and walk straight into the gym. It's terrible, I feel like my body is totally deteriorating.

Back home in Canada it's obviously totally different. I can sleep in my bed, go to the local gym, I know where all the best places to go are so I eat a lot more fresh food.

I try not to eat junk food on the road. I end up shopping in M&S quite often - I get a lot of my food from there. I like to cook for myself, I worked in restaurants for about six years so I'm pretty comfortable in the kitchen - I prefer to pre-cook my meals, maybe freeze them and then just microwave them when I decide I need to eat them.

I'm not really into supplements so much - except when I'm weight training or dieting or whatever. I'll use flaxseed oil, vitamin C, ginseng, protein supplements, all that kind of thing. And I like to get a good strong cup of coffee in the morning - get all those minerals and good stuff into my blood.

I used to do a lot more weight training but there's not really a lot of opportunity for it on the road. Surfing, skateboarding, BMXing, snowboarding, it's mainly extreme sports I'm into. I like my exercise pretty intense and I've had the broken bones to prove it. I'm not so much one for hockey or football or anything like that, I prefer the solo kind of things to the team sports. I think I'm a soloist by nature.

Being on the road can be pretty stressful, carrying loads of bags through busy stations and the like, moving around constantly, so I'm starting to get into doing yoga and stuff like that, which helps me a lot.

I didn't drink alcohol or smoke at all for seven years, but again, the lifestyle of being on the road means that I'm around people who do and I get caught up in it - you know, there aren't a lot of comedians who run triathlons.

Sleep is pretty important to me. Because of the hours I keep I often won't get to sleep until 3am or so, but I try to get a good seven or eight hours. Maybe once every couple of years I can get by on three hours a night but I need to drink infusions of organic lemon with cayenne for like a week afterwards if I do.
