Joe Thomas has spent most of his career looking like he's on the verge of a breakdown — and it turns out that's been very useful.

Joe Thomas is an English actor, comedian, and writer best known for his iconic role as Simon Cooper in The Inbetweeners, and for his work in Fresh Meat, White Gold, and The Festival. A former Cambridge Footlights alumnus and Taskmaster contestant, he is now forging a new path in stand-up comedy.

• What life looks like after a show as culturally dominant as The Inbetweeners — and how long it takes to work out what comes next
• Why the leap from scripted sitcom to live stand-up is much harder than it appears from the outside
• What Taskmaster is actually like to film — and why the best moments happen when you stop trying
• Why embracing discomfort, on stage and off, has become the most useful thing Joe has learned
