Sam Campbell
Following huge demand and sell-out shows across the UK and Ireland, Sam Campbell is adding extra dates to his Wobservations tour. These added dates will be the final performances before Campbell retires the show.
Taskmaster star Sam Campbell is going on tour in the UK for the first time.
Sam Campbell: Wobservations will be Sam’s first tour of the UK. Sam Campbell was the winner of Dave’s Best Show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2022, and the recipient of the Barry Award at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2018.
Why did you sign up to Taskmaster?
I don’t know. I didn’t know what it was. I’ve not been allowed to watch it because of my conservatorship.
So why did you say yes?
I was forced to by my management company. It’s almost military service, you have to do it.
Did you know anyone else who’d done it previously?
The first thing that gig-less comedians did after lockdown was put live shows online. The second was launch a podcast. But television hasn’t been far behind, using the format of quickfire, viral-friendly sketches filmed at home and observing social distancing. The BBC launches their rapid response series Comedians: Home Alone on BBC Two on June 1 at 10.15pm, but they have been pipped at the post by E4’s Remote Comedy From the Paddock.
Channel 4 has launched a new batch of Comedy Blaps. Past Blaps have gone on to spawn hit sitcoms, such as Stath Lets Flats.
In fact Stath Lets Flats star Jamie Demetriou is one of the comedians who pops up in the new Blap by Australian comedian Sam Campbell, entitled Get Real Dude.
Campbell is a previous winner of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival's prestigious Barry Award.
