He is the sort of bloke you'd love to go for a drink with down the local pub - if that bloke also happened to be the most hilarious man you'd ever met! So it's extremely good news for all of us that Rob is about to embark on a major nationwide tour with a show entitled Mouth of the South.

British Comedy Guide, 3rd November 2016Taskmaster: series 3, episode 5 review
It is hard to judge how good this series compared to its two predecessors.
