Ed Gamble

Since graduating from Durham University, Ed Gamble has become one of the UK’s most successful stand-up comedians. He’s been a Taskmaster champion, a Pointless host and one of the Hunted on Channel 4.

And his “Off Menu” series with James Acaster is one of the most listened-to podcasts in the UK – where guests choose their ideal meal.

But Ed's own love of food hasn’t always been easy. He has Type One Diabetes...and has spoken, and written, movingly about his complicated relationship with eating and weight.

In an interview a couple of years ago he said: I can’t tell day-to- day whether I’m arrogant or I hate myself, but I think somewhere in-between is absolutely ideal for a comedian.
