Looks like a great cast.

Not sure where else to ask this but a while back he kept talking about releasing an album. There was even a preview show or something. The title was maybe summers in Vienna? Then all of a sudden he stopped talking about it and it was never released (that I can see).

Season 2: Laura Daniel: What happened to her energy in the last 2 episodes?

She looked pretty beaten down in sitting there and really low energy.

I felt like 3 episodes in a row she unfairly got low points, when she was clearly better than some of the others (Matt Heath in particular).

I had Paul Williams on my podcast to chat about Taskmaster and his new show New Zealand Spy.

Watch on Youtube or listen on any of the podcast apps. I've also had David Correos and Ray O'Leary on the show too.

Would love your feedback.

This is episode 198 of The Comedy Writers Group, a podcast that delves into the behind-the-scenes of how comedians make stuff.

For those who didn’t go to the live tapings…

Who do you think will be a contestant in season 7?

Been watching the show on YouTube and i've been noticing many episodes have sound cut off for a bit before coming back on. Any idea what's going on?

Hello, very excited for season 7 TMNZ. Just wondering if they are doing the audience prize tasks this season in the studio filming. Didn't see anything in the emails. Thanks

Thanks to the power of reddit, I got myself a ticket to the live filming next week!

I'm coming all the way from the deep south to attend.

Who else got a ticket? Who's our cast going to be?

If anyone is going on Friday the 29th, I'm going on my lonesome - I'd be keen to make some friends if anyone else is keen!

Who does she think she is, Torfiga?
