“…a consummate comedian. Slick delivery, efficient gag writing, great rapport with the audience.”
Mark Wareham, Mail on Sunday​

Award-winning comedian Ed Gamble, co-host of the chart-topping Off Menu podcast, Taskmaster champion, host of Taskmaster: The Podcast and The Traitors/Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked, and presenter of panel show Unacceptable, returns to Prime Video with Ed Gamble Live, his second stand-up special for the platform.

Filmed at Salford Lowry Quays Theatre in January 2025, the special features stand-up material Ed has been performing since his last special, Blood Sugar, released in 2019.

Ed said, “I’m very excited to finally release this special into the world. Apologies to my friends, some of it is gross.”

Alongside his successful television and podcast work in recent years, Ed has continued to pursue his first love of stand-up, embarking on his biggest-ever sold-out world tour following the filming of the special, performing across Europe, North America and Australasia. He heads back out on the road in January 2027 with his brand-new tour Fresh Hell, performing more than 60 dates across the UK and Ireland.​

Ed Gamble Live will be available to stream on Prime Video from 29th October 2026.
