Taskmaster is a British TV show in which comedians Greg Davies and Alex Horne set a group of ridiculous tasks for a line-up of other comedians that change every season.
When I was in university, I wrote an article for my school paper on books that should be adapted into TV shows. One of the books I chose was Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events which, a few months later, was picked up by Netflix and became a wonderful adaption of a beloved book series. Am I psychic? Possibly. But it’s more probable that the entertainment industry had just started becoming aware of the potential of book to TV adaptions.
I don’t know about other geeks, but my favorite thing to do when I’m sad is binge a stand-up comedy special on Netflix. In case you’re like me and are always looking for new recommendations while you self-isolate, here’s a list of my go-tos (with some newer additions!) All of these are available on Netflix unless otherwise specified.
