I do realize that when I laugh, it sounds like a seal is being molested.

As soon as I did my first five minutes of stand-up I knew that I would rather be a failure at comedy than a success in marketing.

I appreciate as a comedian, people will expect me to &#39;make light&#39; of this situation, but I&#39;m not going to in this statement. As this is obviously a serious matter. I met with a financial advisor and he said to me &#39;Do you want to pay less tax? It&#39;s totally legal&#39;. I said &#39;Yes&#39;.&quot; I now realise I&#39;ve made a terrible error of judgement. Although I&#39;ve been advised the K2 Tax scheme is entirely legal, and has been fully disclosed to HMRC (Her Majesty&#39;s Revenue and Customs). I&#39;m no longer involved in it and will in future conduct my financial affairs much more responsibly. Apologies to everyone.
