The shape I'm in: Al Porter, comedian

Al Porter says he’s very much out of shape and he runs on adrenalin.

WITH his slicked back hairdo and shiny retro suits, fast-talking comedian Al Porter seems older than his 23 years. But in many ways, he is still the little boy who wants to make his mother laugh.

“I can have her really, really laughing. Some of my best bits on stage come from her laughing so hard in the kitchen. And that brings me such joy. I’ve been doing that since I was a kid,” he says, adding that he still lives at home.
