Outstanding series. Could not have put my faith in a worse contestant but my days do we love him
I've started watching and enjoying Taskmaster.

Have to say it's been the most work I've done since Edinburgh but Access Festival has been such a treat to do and it's so good to be able to do this for the fans night after night. I'm going to feel a bit empty after all of this is over.

A millennial has forced me to go on TikTok. Hard to imagine anyone less suited to this voguish and super-brief format than me, a rambling comic last interesting to the public in 2017. But it might be funny for that very reason. And I look so pretty. I’m markwatsonthecomedian.
