Josh Widdicombe review

Widdicombe's tone of plaintive adenoidal consternation is as funny as his best gags.

Review: Josh Widdicombe, Cheltenham Comedy Festival

With it nearing the last leg of the Cheltenham Comedy Festival, Thursday night's entertainment was provided by Josh Widdicombe. Famed for his appearances on Mock the Week, Live at the Apollo and, most recently, The Last Leg, it was no great surprise to find out that the event was a complete sell-out. The packed audience was eagerly anticipating laugh-out comedy and once the warm-up act, Tom Crane, had left the stage, we got just that.

Radio Times review

As a civilisation, we're starting to realise that asking questions about news or trivia from behind a desk isn't the best way to wring semi-improvised laughs out of moderately popular comedians. Far wiser to make them do something less restrictive, where the thing itself is funny before anyone starts. So we come to this fun new jolly, where titular Taskmaster Greg Davies - flanked by the show's creator Alex Horne - awards comics marks for eating as much watermelon as they can in a minute, emptying a bathtub without pulling the plug out, or painting a horse while riding a horse.

The comfortingly familiar guests are Frank Skinner, Josh Widdicombe, Roisin Conaty, Romesh Ranganathan and Tim Key. Skinner is a good weathervane, since he's been around far too long to bother laughing politely at unfunny jokes. Here, he laughs a lot.

Video: Josh Widdicombe meets Wimbledon fans

Comedian and Wimbledon first-timer Josh Widdicombe takes to the grounds of SW19 to meet the different people who make it through the gates of the famous venue.

A sixth series for the satire show that picks apart the week's news while making it look like a chat between three particularly witty friends down the pub. It features, as usual, Adam Hills as the genial mastermind and Alex Brooker and Josh Widdicombe as his grinning familiars. Tonight, the men are joined by stretched Muppet Stephen Merchant.

Adam Hills on Piers Morgan, Nick Clegg & Ed Miliband

Hills returns with co-hosts Josh Widdicombe and Alex Brooker and, as well as admitting the show can come together as close as half an hour before broadcast, he dished on everything from his bromance with guest and former Deputy PM Nick Clegg, to almost unbooking Piers Morgan...

Radio Times review

When this show first aired ten years ago - back when Twitter didn't exist, David Cameron was Shadow Education Secretary and Andy Murray was outside the world's top 400 - it didn't look like much. Yet another panel show, and an unprepossessing mix of Have I Got News for You and Whose Line Is It Anyway? to boot - surely it wouldn't go on to be one of TV comedy's most reliable ratings bankers?

Well, it did - and now it's back for a triumphant 14th series, with Dara O Briain still in charge and a roster of strong comics, old and new: Katherine Ryan, James Acaster, Matt Forde and Josh Widdicombe join hoary regulars Hugh Dennis and Andy Parsons.
