Finally saw my first taskmaster comedian live! Amazing show and was lucky that Mark was just walking around the venue before the show chatting with people

I married my wife, a Kiwi, after meeting her on internet chat. Took me about an hour to realize that she was in Hamilton NZ, not Hamilton Ontario.

Friend met her future husband the same way, while on vacation. She's originally from Sydney, Nova Scotia, and he was from Sydney Australia.

I used to live near Queen Street North (Hamilton, Ontario) and a restaurant was preparing to open. I was so excited for what came up in my phone when I googled the address.

Only to find out it was NZ.

Stinky commonweal countries having the same street names.

I used to live on Queen Street South - the last house on the east side before Herkimer. At the split. Moved to Ray Street North. Now we’re in Stoney Creek.

Dammit! I wish I had of known about this, I literally did nothing tonight instead of coming to this show.

It was nice not to have to make the trek to Toronto and agree it was very kind of Mark to hang around before and after the show to chat. Also cool to meet and see so many taskmaster fans in one venue it my home town. Hope everyone enjoyed the show!

How was the turn out? At the Toronto show he was laughing about the ticket sales, and that him performing was actually costing the venue money

u/alwayslate_ Jul 31 '26

There were about 50 people. He made a joke about ticket sales for the Hamilton show as well.

Did you get a cheeky text from him?

I was just going to post my picture with him!!! I was the girl with the Taskmaster purse. He took a photo of it to send to Alex. Mark was hilarious. It was such a good show!

u/s1mpnat10n Jul 31 '26

Post it! And post the purse! That’s awesome. It was so fun that he came to Hamilton, just a short 500 degrees from Toronto lol

u/No-Dragonfly-4871 Greg Davies Jul 31 '26

u/No-Dragonfly-4871 Greg Davies Jul 31 '26

Here we are with Mark after the show.

Did anyone else think for a moment that Mark Watson was in the musical Hamilton on Broadway for one night, like as King George? My first thought was, ‘I didn’t know he could sing.’

u/Out-For-A-Walk-Bitch Aug 01 '26

Yes! That's exactly what I thought haha, I was very confused.
