The comedy show 'Richard Dadd: That Time I Invented Taskmaster & Invaded France' is part of the Birmingham Comedy Festival 2026 and takes place at Cherry Red's Cafe Bar in Birmingham. It is free to attend.
Part of Birmingham Comedy Festival 2026
Local comedian RICHARD DADD tells the true story of how he accidentally became the face of a brand of pork snacks and was thereby contractually obliged to complete a series of increasingly bizarre tasks. What started off as a bit of a laugh soon escalates into disaster.
Join him as he relives this ridiculous episode of his life with the aid of video footage to prove he didn’t hallucinate it all.
He may be “Birmingham’s King of Alternative Comedy” (BBC Upload) but every word of this story is 100% true. No porkies!
“Intelligent, funny and bursting with imagination” – Hollywood Comedy Club
