Rose Matafeo to record a stand-up special

Junior Taskmaster host's show to be taped in London

Rose Matafeo’s new solo show On And On And On is to be recorded as stand-up special.

The show, currently running at the Edinburg Fringe, will be taped at the Royal College of Music’s Britten Theatre in London.

It will follow a three-week run at the capital’s Arcola Theatre from September 30.

No details have yet been released as to which broadcaster or platform will carry the show, which was nominated for the top award at this year’s Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

Her last stand-up special, Horndog was recorded in the West End and released in 2020 - it is currently available on Apple TV+

Matafeo’s profile is also set to rise further as she hosts Channel 4’s new Junior Taskmaster, taking the central Greg Davies role.

Tickets for the special’s taping are on sale now here.
