Ep 183: Phil Ellis on Taskmaster, Fringe Show Stunts and Fan Art
This week Marc is joined by comedian and star of Taskmaster Series 20 Phil Ellis. They discuss Phil learning about making it on the show, how he found recording the series, and the novelty of receiving fan-art (even if they all tend to depict him with slightly less hair than he has in real life). Plus, Phil recounts some of his infamous stunts at previous Edinburgh Fringe shows, including the time when pretending to hang himself by the rafter almost had a fatal ending. They also chat about Phil's appearance on Sunday Brunch, the possibility of Live at the Apollo, and why it's important to say "yes" to whatever opportunities come your way.Phil is on a UK tour including dates at London's Soho Theatre in December, Edinburgh's Monkey Barrel on 23rd February & The Stand in Glasgow on 15th April.
