Season eight of the reliably daft gameshow sees Sian Gibson, Iain Stirling, Joe Thomas, Lou Sanders and Paul Sinha in the thrall of the man-mountain king as they try to impress Greg Davies.

Ian Wolf, On The Box, 8th May 2019Taskmaster review - a cheap, childish comedy miracle

This year's contestants are Paul Sinha, Joe Thomas, Iain Stirling, Lou Sanders and Sian Gibson. A sheer delight.

British Comedy Guide, 1st May 2019Interview: Lou Sanders is making a pig of herself
Calling someone "the comedians' comedian" would be a shameful thing to do if it didn't just so happen to be true. Last summer saw Lou Sanders's sold-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival win her a Comedians' Choice Award for "best show". She also took home an Edinburgh Poster Award.

Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard, 3rd April 2019Live Review: Canned Laughter
I've been to hundreds of mixed bill nights over the past thirty years, because christ I'm old, but this was up there with the very, very best of them.
