Where did shows like Taskmaster and Kill Tony come from? Harry and Jacob explore the heady heights and terrible lows of the format show. Comedians are thrown together in variety nights, bizarre scenarios, and manic game shows to cause chaos in front of a live audience. What format shows are on at The Gaffe, what do they offer a venue, and where can we expand on them in the future?

Plus, Harry goes into the art of the roast and the pair workshop a brand new themed character and format live, with a royal twist.
