As you may know, discovering Taskmaster last year after Mantzoukas was on saved our sanity as America plunged straight into the sewer, and on today's episode, we're talking to one of our favorite contestants, Desiree Burch! Desiree is, of course, so much more than a Taskmaster series 12 contestant - she's a stand-up (who, if you live in the UK, you can see on tour in February!), the host of Netflix's Too Hot to Handle and BBC 2's Live at the Apollo; she appears on tons of panel shows and so much more! And on today's episode, we get all into how she moved to the UK for a relaysh (but not the relaysh the internet seems to think she moved for... what?!), achieving your dreams in a foreign country, how that relationship fizzled, walking your cat on a leash, the power of the mid-life crisis and TONS MORE! PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions! If you'd like to ask your own advice questions, call 323-524-7839 and leave a VM or just DM us on IG or Twitter!
