An early interest in the girls helped Alan ignore the trauma of school. Dating at the tender age of 14 he jokes he won't spill the beans about losing his cherry because he "might be prosecuted!" He confesses: "I've done my fair share of shagging". From University to the Edinburgh festival there were plenty of opportunities! "You're supposed to drop your pants at every opportunity at university, but the funny thing was I had more sex before I got there." At the Edinburgh Festival "you can make up for an entire youth. A few years ago, there was a different woman every night scenario."
