Below Katherine Parkinson discusses taking part in the show, which is now on its tenth series (with the eleventh already filmed).
Taskmaster is on Thursdays at 9pm, C4. Catch series 1-9 on All 4
I remember an old joke from when I was growing up, I think told by Bob Monkhouse or someone else from his generation. A hippy gets on a train wearing one shoe and a commuter asks "did you lose a shoe?". The hippy replies, "No man, I found one." This new play by EV Crowe reminded me of that long lost gag. How a single absent shoe can mean so much.

With set design by Chloe Lamford, lighting design by Natasha Chivers, composition by Matthew Herbert, sound design by Tony Gayle and movement direction by Sasha Milavic Davies.
