Comedian Mark Watson on Taskmaster, Red Wine & Why Cocktails Take Too Long! | At The Bar

What happens when one of Britain’s sharpest comedians pulls up a seat At The Bar?

In this episode, we’re joined by Mark Watson - comedian, author, podcaster and Taskmaster favourite.

Whether you’ve seen him on Live At The Apollo, Mock the Week or live on tour, Mark’s quick wit and brilliantly understated comedy make him the perfect guest for a drink and a chat.

We get into:

- his unforgettable Taskmaster betrayal

- why he drinks red wine on stage

- the strange reality of touring as a comedian

- why theatre green rooms need less tea and more wine

- his murder mystery podcast, Murder of the Famous

- and why cocktails are brilliant when they’re yours, but infuriating when you’re waiting for a simpler drink

We also introduce Mark to our BRAND NEW GAME - Bartender’s Bluff - which he confidently predicts is going to go viral.

Then resident bartender Jack Sotti creates Mark’s Dream Drink - a smoky tribute to his formative years in Melbourne, combining Shiraz gin, Australian whisky, eucalyptus and red wine.

Hosted by Matty White and Jon Almond, with Jack Sotti.
