The contests this week are, in no particular order, Kerry Howard, Evelyn Mok, Toby Anstis and Joe Sugg.

Evelyn Mok is this week's stand-up contestant. She was born in Sweden to a Hong Kongese father and a Chinese-Indian mother and co-hosts the ‘Rice To Meet You’ comedy  podcast with Nigel Ng and it's a case of Mok by name, Mock by nature as she is one of the guests lined up to appear on the current series of Mock The Week, which, as you probably know by now, is the final series. Mok was also seen recently in the Lazy Susan sketch show on BBC Three.

Kerry Howard also has something of a comedy pedigree. She played the young Hyacinth Bucket in the BBC's prequel of classic sitcom Keeping Up Appearances and maybe more famously played horrible Laura in the BBC Three series Him & Her . Oh, and she is also Russell Howard's sister. She is due to reunite with Him & Her co-star Russell Tovey in a new dark Sky comedy drama Both Sides Now, according to the British Comedy Guide.

Joe Sugg is a youtube superstar so his fans might be glued to their phones rather than BBC Two every night this week at at 6pm. His girlfriend is Strictly's Dianne Buswell. Former kids TV presenter Toby Anstis could be the dark horse of this week's competition and might turn out to be the quick-wtted one who walks away with the prizes with Richard Osman's face on them – Anstis presented the first series of Trust Me I'm A Holiday rep on Channel 5, has won three episodes of Pointless. If you remember him from the Broom Cupboard he can now be heard on Heart and spin-off station Heart Dance.

Richard Osman's House of Games, BBC Two, Monday, October 3 - Friday, October 7, 6pm with Kerry Howard, Evelyn Mok, Toby Anstis and Joe Sugg.
