Download 9. Firing Paintballs at Ed Balls

Richard Ayoade faces his toughest challenge yet - finding a way to keep Taskmaster going for ten more series. A movie director is forced to face up to serious allegations now his films have become commercial rather than critically acclaimed arthouse classics. And Stuart Piper Aloysious takes his political podcast on the road and it's even more tedious than the real thing. Sponsored by Big Baboon Energy.

Social media star Michael Spicer takes on everything that frustrates and angers us, such as social media, other media and everything else in this satirical sketch comedy series.

Michael is famous for his Room Next Door government advisor character whose withering take downs of politicians have amassed more than 100 million views and helped keep his audience sane in fractured times.
