Went to see his stand up recently and it was exhausting trying to keep up with his tangents! Says he won’t get tested for ADHD but the way his delivery is like an internal batshit monologue testing seems unnecessary! He overran massively. So much so that everyone had to leg it to the car parks before they shut!

I went to see him a few years ago and was unaware of his show format - he started off doing random thoughts/chit chat that I assumed was just to warm us up before he launched into the main show but nope, his whole show was just quickfire random topics with seemingly no purpose or common thread
very funny but chaotic!!Sounds exactly like our night!I went to see him a few years ago and was unaware of his show format - he started off doing random thoughts/chit chat that I assumed was just to warm us up before he launched into the main show but nope, his whole show was just quickfire random topics with seemingly no purpose or common thread
I've not watched the series yet, was it similar to James Acaster or Ed Gamble, or more intense?
Worse! At least James and Ed were funny with it. John’s desperation was so obvious.
Thats a shame, I do like John, but he can come across as condesending!
I love James Acaster his GBBO quote is iconic. I need to rewatch his series.
James Acaster is one of my favourite ever contestants. And I say that as someone who didn't really know who he was at all.
He was competitive but strangely innocent about it all. And his exasperation every time a 'trick' was shown was always hilarious. When they had to build a structure as a team and Rhod Gilbert just pissed off to the shed was so funny
I think he's brilliant on and off TM. If it's an act then great, if it's actually his personality, then perfect!James Acaster is one of my favourite ever contestants. And I say that as someone who didn't really know who he was at all.

and genuinely raging about Rhod on that task 
I've actually never watched Taskmaster before until the series 17.He was absolutely brilliant
I then went back and picked a random series to watch and it happened to be series 7.
FANTASTIC piece of television. I loled and loled all the way through
You absolutely MUST watch series 5!
And if you don’t want to watch the whole of series 5, then at the very least watch episode 8. And if you don’t want to watch the whole of episode 8, then just watch the Rosalind song task.
It might just be the best thing that ever happened.

I've just finished 7 so I will watch 5 now
I think 7 is my all time favourite. The computer game task is amazing!
Seven is my all time favourite season. But also 5, 9, 14 and 15.
We went to see James Acaster's 'Hecklers Welcome' show at the weekend. Wasn't sure what to expect, but thoroughly enjoyed it.

Ditto!
Is he playing ‘Over my Shoulder’ there?
Hahaha. We were about halfway back and my partner was like bloody hell is that a full size drumkit, before he came on. No darling, no it's not.
The series with Mike Wozniak is one of my favourites.
