In a 2010 interview in ''The Times'', Cornes was cited as one of fellow comedian [[Sean Lock]]'s biggest comedic influences. Lock said: "He’s not very well known but he is my main influence — he used to compere at the Comedy Store. He’s the comedians’ comedian. He used to be very unpredictable, which is a great skill in a comedian, not knowing where to go next. He also used to play the physics teacher in Grange Hill."<ref>{{cite news |url=http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/stage/comedy/article7029166.ece |title=The world according to Sean Lock |work=Times Newspapers Ltd. |publisher=Times Online |date=February 20, 2010 |first=David |last=Hayles |accessdate=May 2, 2010}}</ref>
