House of Games Guests This Week

House of Games Guests This Week

This week's run of House of Games is actually a repeat. It first went out almost exactly a year ago. So if you've got a very good memory and your friends don't read this article (obviously the latter is very unlikely) you can impress them by reeling off the answers to Richard Osman's quirky questions.

Unusually, all four contestants come from the world of laughter.

There's impressionist Kate Robbins, whose pedigree covers the waterfront, from Spitting Image to Cilla Black and Margaret Thatcher take-offs. She also happens to be the mother of Emily Atack.

Then there's Kae Kurd, who has been making waves on the stand-up circuit and appeared on Jonathan Ross' Comedy Club in 2020. He is touring later this year with his new show, Kurd Immunity. Details here.

Also appearing is Andrew Hunter Murray, who is a member of the award-winning QI spin-off podcast team No Such Thing As A Fish and also appeared on BBC Two's The Mash Report.

And finally there is the wonderful comedian Zoe Lyons – Lyons happens to be based in Brighton, where two previous winners – Maisie Adam and Angela Barnes – are also based. Could this be an omen? And yes, if you are wondering Zoe Lyons is wearing a wig because she was suffering from alopecia when the programme was filmed.

In the summer of 2020 she wrote about it on Instagram: "My hair falls out in patches when I get stressed. I've had alopecia off and on since I was 11. I am lucky in that it has always grown back. This particular little frier tuck crop circle started to appear at the beginning of lockdown. Its such a strange one alopecia because of course it is not harmful to the body other than the baldness but it can be stressful non the less seeing clumps of your barnet in the shower every time you wash your hair and trying not to worry about something that is itself triggered by worry is a bit of a mind bend."
