Gareth Blackler

Gareth has been performing with Casual First Date for eight years and is a familiar and very welcome face on the Tuesday at Whammy stage.
He's also one of the finest MCs in the room, regularly keeping order (loosely) at Late Night Knife Fight, the monthly battle show where three improv teams face off for glory, honour, and the audience's verdict.
When he's not doing that, he's producing and hosting "GARITHMETIC: The Maths Show for Dumb People" an absurdist game show with actual maths, strange challenges barely related to maths, and a points system involving Number Orbs. It's 10% maths, 90% hilarity, and 15% accurate percentages. Former writer for What Now. Don't worry about what any of that means.
Come see him at Whammy, where the maths is simpler: one stage, one room, and a very good time.

Gareth Blackler's first show for Tuesdays at Whammy was on 19 May 2026 performing in Insert Laugh Track Here.
