This week's House of Games line-up features Andrew Cotter, Anna Haugh, Mark Ramprakash and comedian Stevie Martin, most recently seen as one of the plucky contestants on Taskmaster and also in the new Mitchell and Webb C4 series, Mitchell & Webb Are Not Helping. No pressure on Martin, but last week comedian Vittorio Angelone won all five episodes on his way to becoming champion. Angela Barnes has previously done this and comedians have a great track record on House of Games. Can Martin keep it up? 

First of all, don't get Stevie Martin confused with Steve Martin. He's an elderly comic legend, she is a young comedian on the way to becoming a legend. Though Ticketmaster did accidentally use a picture of him to advertise her upcoming gig at Komedia in Brighton. Stevie Martin took to Instagram to clarify the matter: "Ticketmaster didn’t mess up - me and Steve are doing our double act show all over the UK in 2026! Can’t wait, love how fast Brighton is selling, got to learn how to play the banjo v quickly. EDIT: YES THIS IS A GENUINE MISTAKE BUT I AM NOT DOING A SHOW WITH STEVE MARTIN IN BRIGHTON OR ANYWHERE ELSE."

She has also recently posted about her House of Games experience on Instagram, "On @houseofgames all this week!! Had so much fun but was also desperate to win at least one thing with Richards face on it. Surely. SURELY. Please god. Starts tonight at 6pm on @bbctwo ofc and the vegan snacks in the dressing room were 10/10. Styling by the perfect and unimpeachable @patrickjack #houseofgames."

Anyone who has seen her live show will know that she has a fast brain. Her show Clout mixes stories with playful multimedia puns, wordplay and comic images. Maybe the creative, visual side of her brain will come into play up against her opponents.

Various Martin clips have gone viral so you can check her out online, but a better option would be to catch her on tour, which has been extended into next Spring due to demand. Dates, details and ticket link here.
