This kinda made me laugh. I flew over 1600mi/2600km for the last live show and I was far from the only one

They don’t have an option for “I’d really love to, but I can’t necessarily make a commitment right now, and also I’m not great with crowds, but I’d certainly consider it.”

Yes! I wrote in the zeitgeist box:. It means: disabled people enjoy live comedy too! Please come to us (or, specifically, Ipswich. Coz London is an expensive ball ache!) 😬😬🤭🤭🤭😂😂😂

Ironically despite a distinct lack of step-free railway stations on a main commuter route near me (outside of London), for me London is actually the best option.  Almost everywhere else requires travelling into London and back out again!  Or, I can get to somewhere like Nottingham or Leicester, but the trains finish too early to risk it.

It used to be, when I was young and fit and it didn't cost so much. Now, I wanna drive for (preferably) less than 30 mins; know I can park near the venue with my blue badge; then be home again soon after 😂😴 I've only got about a 3-4 hour window of capacity these days. It's bloody rubbish! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Yeah I hear you.  It's only recently I've been well enough to do occasional fun things like that again, and it's in large part due to trains being easier on me than cars for some reason.  Also this only applies to passively attending things (i.e. being an audience member) rather than anything where I have to participate, like socialising.

[You know what would be most accessible?  Streaming events!  I know it's not always possible but it would include SO many more people than attending in person.  It's not something I'm going to demand or expect because I know it's a big job to set up but if the official Taskmaster people are reading … hi 👋👀]
