Williams considers career as comedian

Pop superstar Robbie Williams is tempted to ditch his lucrative music career to follow in his father Pete Conway's footsteps by becoming a stand-up comedian.

The Tripping singer is often left dazed mid-performance when he thinks about his phenomenal success, and would feel more comfortable cracking jokes instead.

He tells German newspaper Die Zeit: "My father was a stand-up comedian for years. Maybe one day I will do that, too.

"Sometimes I'm onstage and singing suddenly disturbs me and I want to talk to the audience. Instead, I want to make them laugh."
