I'm not sure why you're here, unless you're Greg Davies' Assistant Alex Horne to judge me towards the nationwide competition for the #taskmasterbook, but as you're here, please enjoy. It's a shame there's no points for run on sentences because I'm really good at those.
Any who, it's been so much fun doing these tasks and jammo putting this concise-as-possible blog together!
NB: In an attempt to follow the format of the show, we try to stick to 5 points. This means in situations with 5+ people present, some contestants will be awarded the same number of points
