Not their fault but finishing up S10 and yeah making it an easy choice for worst series

I saw John Kearns’ standup over the weekend - utterly superb. He’s at the start of a long tour and its well worth going along if you can.

I’ve recently binged all of taskmaster, my main take from that series was losing it at Mawaan attempting to put helium in the egg and the annoyance Daisy had with Richard Herring in the team tasks.

Nice. Hadn’t seen that he’d got October and November dates as well now, as most of March and April is sold out.

Additional dates in London in June, too

Anything you can compare him to? I half liked him on taskmaster but know nothing of him as a stand-up

He plays an exaggerated version of himself…touches on his new wider audience since TM, his imaginedfuture with his newborn son amongst other things… quite a bit of whimsy…I just love his turns of phrase and how he holds the room.
This is from quite a few years ago but gives an idea of the character;

Thanks for sharing, I’ll take a look

I’ve just seen there’s loads of these interviews on youtube - don’t think I’ve seen any of them until now! they can’t have been in the TV show presumably? bonus extras?

Watched Aussie TM S1 E4 last night. Brilliant. Better than many UK eps and series.

Then was absolutely howling watching these Sayers. Had seen one of them before when it was doing the rounds but hadn’t clocked until now that the TM contestant is the same person.

I see he’s finally added a Belfast show in November, lovely stuff.

Went to see Wozniak tonight which was very enjoyable

Just noticed on the TM Wiki that Season 15 will start on 30th March. Didn’t realise it was back so soon! Great news!

What with that and Race Across The World S3 next week, it’s all coming up Millhouse!

It’s a bit weird cause while it’s 6 series which is a lot its only 3 years of work isn’t it?

Plus what does that mean for Champion of Champions, I’m assuming it goes to Champion of Champion IV plus 1 extra series?

Regardless, renewing something for six series is unprecedented.

Not sure anyone cares about Champo Champs. I guess it would? I think we’ll get Champion of Champions of Champions at some stage
