Comedians' shows pulled over unpaid bills

Josh Widdicombe, Jeremy Hardy, Seann Walsh, Shappi Khorsandi and Marcus Brigstocke have all had gigs dropped from the forthcoming programme of Secombe Theatre in Sutton because of the dispute with very little notice. Widdicombe was due to play there only next week. Their agency, Off The Kerb, axed the shows in a row over £3,432 of box office money they say they are owed for another of their clients, Mark Steel, three months ago.

Latitude review: Josh Widdicombe

Josh Widdicombe does not do edgy comedy. Josh Widdicombe does not do comedy your parents wouldn't approve of. Josh Widdicombe does comedy that is aimed fairly and squarely at a mainstream audience and prime time TV shows. What he does he does very well.

Taskmaster: series two, episode 3 review

In this week's episode of Taskmaster we see artistic silhouettes, a huge number of Calippos, and the return of old friends.

Adam Hills, Josh Widdicombe and Alex Brooker continue their eighth series. Last week they had their plates overflowing, after the EU referendum result, so this week's instalment will doubtless be dealing with the fallout/relief, depending on how our nation of economic experts has decided to determine our collective future. Additionally, viewers can get stuff off their chests using the #isitok hashtag too, always something of an added bonus.
