Mawaan: Songs About Birds (WIP)
Think guineafowl. Think mangos. Think existential dread. A song about Alison Hammond on a vespa? Why not. Taskmaster's 'sneaky pasta snake' tries out brand-spanking-new songs and a couple of classics for good measure. As seen on Live at the Apollo, Friday Night Live and Big Fat Quiz. Mawaan has written and is starring in a six-part series for BBC based on his critically acclaimed 2018 show, Juice. **** (Times). **** (Evening Standard).
