Alex Horne on creative connection, being more open, and tales from the Taskmaster house

Today, we welcome a comedian and TV host who has taken a brilliantly simple idea for a show - funny people trying to complete funny tasks - and turned it into a global phenomenon. And it’s all been thanks to not taking yourself, or life, too seriously: it’s comedian, TV host and author, Alex Horne!

Alex joins us from, you guessed it, the Taskmaster house for a chat about how the show’s gone from an idea at the Edinburgh Fringe to sold-out theatre shows, global adaptations and eighteen series of hilarious TV. Plus, we hear more about Alex’s life away from the funniest throne in TV - from the importance of making time for loved ones to men trying to be a bit more open and how plenty of life’s best lessons come from failure. Plus, we frantically work out a plan for his debut Glastonbury performance NEXT WEEK!
