Call To Action

This week, we gave ourselves 50 minutes and the task to catch master of mirth, Alex Horne.  Comedian, frontman of six-piece band The Horne Section, and sensationally silly sod, Alex is best known for creating and co-hosting cult TV show, Taskmaster. Alongside Greg Davies, the only man in comedy big enough to call him ‘Little’ Alex Horne, he tests the wiles, wit and wisdom of comedians through a series of tasks teeming with tomfoolery. We chat middle children, sorting potatoes from toads, Big Brother and berocca, reviewing an all-male strip show, The Cambridge Footlights, British humour overseas, car games, silly versus wacky, escapism, how he comes up with tasks, catching tears in an eggcup, and (of course) the glorious 'stupid waste of time' that is Taskmaster.  Tune in wherever you get your podcasts. You’ve got 49 minutes and 18 seconds. Your time starts now.  ///// Follow Alex on Twitter  Here’s his website And see The Horne Section on tour   Timestamps (02:00) - Quick fire questions (03:56) - His f
