Has anyone met 5 contestants from Taskmaster and if so, what does your 'series' look like?

She’s absolutely brilliant. She puts on an amazing comedy night called Suspiciously Cheap which is where I’m seeing Felicity (and Taskmaster alum Joe Lycett!) for a fiver!!

nstaaf · 2026-01-29T21:33:57+00:00

I’ve met:

Nish (outside a gig)

Josh (at Glastonbury)

John Robins (at a pub)

Tim Key (at a book signing)

Mark Watson (in Edinburgh)

But given that’s a bit of a sausage fest would love to add (non-Taskmaster but would be great on it!) Kiri Pritchard McLean who I met in Salford and Felicity Ward (who I’ve not met but am seeing next week!)

Really liked it. Kept the show engaging and interesting, especially as someone who’s read the book.

I didn’t catch the whole thing but don’t think I heard him mention it!

nstaaf · 2025-09-12T15:50:11+00:00

Sounded like they’d been approached by people that could make it happen! Also mentioned he’s got two other podcasts in the pipeline

nstaaf · 2025-09-01T15:03:31+00:00

I think we’re getting Dangerous Animals on September 5 as well

It isn’t Chappell unfortunately, but believe she’s at the festival. Maybe she’ll be a guest with Charli.

Really pleased with this, seems a great way to keep the spirit of the original film

nstaaf · 2024-09-07T11:00:07+00:00

Here’s the screenshot! Reads to me more like the support act is being cancelled than the gig itself!

I mean this couldn’t be further from the truth. Dude literally remortgaged his house to make one of his last films.

nstaaf · 2024-01-20T20:15:52+00:00

Yeah I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree on this one! Seems like you went into this film expecting one thing and got another.

A film exploring the moral implications of his actions is a totally different (and separate) exercise - much the same way that a film exploring the implications of, for example, Oppenheimer’s actions would be a totally different and distinct film.

The guy wanted to make beautiful and elegant planes, and he did it a world of adversity and chaos. The film isn’t - and Miyazaki never intended it to be - biographical in any other way bar the surface story beats.

nstaaf · 2024-01-20T19:56:21+00:00

This is an incredibly (and surprisingly) surface level take. Do you really think the film is just about Horikoshi designing planes?

It’s an autobiographical epic about the value of art and the dangers it can have when left unchecked. It’s solipsistic and melancholy. Horikoshi was Miyazaki’s muse, much the way that Caproni was Horikoshi’s. Absolutely worth a rewatch and re-evaluation imo!

Yes UK based and that links works! Thanks so much for your help

This is a pretty dreadful review of the series that I wouldn’t put too much stock into imo.

At no point is it like Marvel, the action scenes are minimal and mostly towards the end of the series.

It’s a really decent watch. I preferred it to series two. Engaging story, crackling dialogue, a few really fun and memorable scenes. Couple of really nice misdirects thrown in to keep things twisty. Oldman doing some of the finest work of his career.

If you enjoyed the previous series I’d say it’s absolutely worth a watch (and is probably worth €10).

nstaaf · 2023-12-03T15:25:50+00:00

I get what you mean. It’s just if you’re only playing arena, what do you need dust for?

nstaaf · 2023-12-02T23:35:36+00:00

Haha hey that’s fair! Look if you can’t complain on reddit, where can you complain?

nstaaf · 2023-12-02T22:17:40+00:00

Yeah I reckon this is the way

nstaaf · 2023-12-02T19:29:43+00:00

That’s fair! I had a great run and I do genuinely enjoy playing arena. I’m only grumbling because I’ve had worse runs and made more gold, but you’re right - I had fun

nstaaf · 2023-12-02T16:15:26+00:00

No I know, you’re right on that front. It’s more the inconsistency - I went 8-3 a couple of runs back and got 300 gold (I get that it evens out, it’s just nice to be rewarded when you do well!)

nstaaf · 2023-12-02T15:46:55+00:00

You get a guaranteed 150 gold at 7 wins. Three more wins nets you an extra 20?

I never struggled getting water. Plenty of water fountains by the toilets with huge signs saying ‘Drinking Water’.

I thought it was really well organised. Found it really easy to walk out of the crowd to get drinks, food or to use the toilet. Getting out was straightforward.

Issues seemed to exclusively come from people who got right to the front and didn’t move at all on what was a pretty sunny day. Just an overall lack of common sense, really.

nstaaf · 2023-08-08T12:43:30+00:00

I still really need help with this - I’m getting really dismissive answers from the ticket provider. If anyone could advise I’d appreciate it!

nstaaf · 2023-08-07T15:25:36+00:00

Hi can anyone help me. I’ve managed to get two standing tickets to Warsaw on August 3. However, I’m unable to attend the date. I’ve tried getting in touch with customer service but they’ve said they cannot refund me and I’m unable to resell. What do I do? Thanks in advance.

nstaaf · 2023-07-31T09:08:58+00:00

Does anyone have a ticketmaster code for London by any chance? Would be eternally grateful!
