Taskmaster meets Casualty!

What happens when comedians go head-to-head with health and wellbeing experts? Expect questionable advice, bizarre challenges, surprising facts and plenty of laughs in Sweeten the Pill — a brand-new live comedy panel show hosted by comedian Peter E Davidson (Edinburgh Fringe, Brickwork Comedy MC).

Two teams battle it out across a series of ridiculous rounds designed to put their knowledge, quick thinking and practical skills to the test. Can they separate fact from fiction in Debunk Beds? Survive the physical challenges of Stress Test? Give medical advice using only song titles in The Singing Consultant? And can anyone decipher Doctor’s Handwriting?

With a live audience adding to the atmosphere, Sweeten the Pill takes a playful look at health and wellbeing without taking the people involved too seriously.

This special performance is a live recording of the pilot episode, with the potential to become a recurring comedy series.

Come along, join the debate and help us sweeten the pill!


AGE RANGE: Suitable for ages 15+

CONTENT ADVICE: Some moderate language.
