How was your set on Friday?

Fine, I think I got away with it, thankfully. I've been playing the Cabaret tent since 2005, and the first three years I died, hard. And so every year since it's been a blessing to do better. This year we were running late getting here. I got here at 1.29 and I was on stage at 1.31, so it was very, very intense. But then I was finished by 2pm on Friday, so I was free to go out and enjoy myself.

How do you find festival crowds generally?

I really like the Glastonbury crowd because it's so big and so varied. At Latitude I got a lot of weird abuse from really right-wing kids after my set. You do get people moaning about Glastonbury, saying the demographic is this, that and the other. But the thing about Glastonbury is it still has a political heart to it. It's still got the Left Field, it's still got the Green Futures stuff. It's an interesting crowd, and genuinely really mixed, and I like that.

What have you been doing since your set?

I only drink about once a month and so I decided I was going to drink some wine, and that was delightful. I met up with some friends and we all went to see Tune-Yards, which was great, and Billy Bragg, Jurassic 5, MIA … and I saw Toy up at the Crow's Nest. Yesterday was quite laid back. Went up to the top of the Park stage to watch John Grant and had a lovely time. And then I went to bed super-early, and was very, very happy.

Any low points?

The new compost toilets are terrible, but I don't want to slag off things that are good for the environment.

Were you onstage again today?

Yes – in the Cabaret tent again, onstage with Marcus Brigstock, Phil Jupitus and Nick Doody, who's one of the cleverest, funniest comedians on the planet. And the other two are good as well.

Are you looking forward to leaving?

I'm not – but I am looking forward to washing my hands. There's been a real absence of taps this year, and I've got what look like post-apocalyptic hands.

How are you coping with the mud?

I don't even bother with personal grooming that much in real life, so when I get here I'm very much in my element. I feel like there's a certain element of chic in carrying off not washing and getting covered in mud.

Is it better to come here as a performer or a punter?

I've come as a punter a few times, when I was a student and I did love it, but there's pros and cons. As a punter you don't have to worry about the stress of doing your job properly. But it's so exciting to be part of the community of people who play at the Cabaret stage. The people who run it are so lovely, and it's nice to feel like you're a part of the festival itself, and adding to it creatively. I like having a little pass as well, that makes me feel very good about myself.

What do you think of the comedy line-up this year?

There's loads of good people. I'd recommend people go and sit there for a few hours, 'cos you'll inevitably see someone you've not heard of, and someone you have heard of, and it'll be really good.

Are you going to Edinburgh this summer?

Yes, I'm doing a show called Cara Josephine. It's about love, I think, and it's silly and earnest.
