Mike Wozniak discusses his eclectic comedy career, including his Edinburgh Fringe show The Bench, his roles in Man Down and Taskmaster, and the Three Bean Salad podcast. He describes The Bench as an audience-driven whodunnit set in Exeter, while emphasizing that improvisation, uncertainty and collaboration define much of his work. Wozniak recalls Man Down as one of his happiest professional experiences and calls Taskmaster creator Alex Horne exceptionally ruthless about maintaining secrecy around its challenges. He also reflects on his upbringing, family background, distinctive moustache and hopes to continue performing, making the podcast and eventually writing a sitcom.
