Hello and welcome to the Taskmaster podcast, it's me, Ed Gamble, I'm the host of it.

We talk about an episode of Taskmaster and break it down task by task with a special guest,

and of course we're a new episode season, and today we'll be chatting about series

14 episode three. I'm going to say it, think it's one of my favourite episodes of Taskmaster

ever. I have a habit of getting too excited about things straight after I've seen them,

but I'm just going to say it, I loved it so much, there's so much to recommend it.

We are very lucky today to be talking to one of the stars of Taskmaster series 14,

John is an absolutely amazing comedian, what a pedigree, genuinely hilarious, writes beautiful

comedy, a real comics comic, adored by every comedian that I know, and by all the audiences

that go to see him. If you want to see John, he's on tour in the spring next year,

gone to his website for more details about that, but for now, let's talk to John about quite an

eventful episode for him, Taskmaster series 14 episode three.

It's an absolute joke. Appreciate it. It's wonderful to see you, John, and may I say I'm

absolutely loving you on Taskmaster so far. Thank you, thank you, episode three,

early days, early days. It's early days, but there's already patterns forming, is that fair to say?

Well, I don't think it'd be too harsh to say that, yeah. I mean, you know, you've had everyone come

on and say this, but it just blows your mind out bad. You cannot believe how bad it's going.

Like, honestly, after, after recording, I think episode one, I went back to the changing room,

and I shut the door, went over to the mirror, and I was looking at myself, and I was just like,

it can't, it can't be another 10 episodes of this. It can't be. But they must, you know,
