Ralph #6 - Taskmaster - Pop Culture For The Fun Of It

Ralph #6 - Taskmaster - Pop Culture For The Fun Of It

Issue 06 has the brilliant Greg Davies and Alex Horne on the Ralph issue 06 cover, to celebrate 20 seasons of their hilarious show Taskmaster, with contributing quotes from comedy greats like Noel Fielding, Maisie Adam, Jason Mantzoukas, Rosie Jones, Julian Clary, Jo Brand and Mae Martin.

Elsewhere in the magazine, Dr Lida Hujić, the only person with a PhD in MTV, analyses what went right and what went wrong with the iconic, pioneering, and soon to be shut down broadcaster. We also ask Nottingham’s post-punk duo Sleaford Mods silly questions about the end of the world, take Japanese artist Sebastian Masuda’s express train to the future in Kyoto, visit India’s fastest (and only) speed skater, speak to the brilliant (and megastar-in-waiting) comedian Janine Harouni, learn to be a music manager, find out what bread is best for thrush, and loads, loads more fun stuff.

About Ralph:

A brand new pop culture focused independent title. Looking on the brighter side of life while harnessing the chaotic freedom of 90s magazine design and content, Ralph brings together a host of fantastic writers, photographers and illustrators from around the world. Issue 1 features cult actor Burn Gorman on the cover in his first ever in-depth profile, while The Simpsons writer and showrunner Bill Oakley tells us what fast food menu items the characters from the iconic show would be. It also has the internet’s favourite chef Olivia Tiedemann, a deep dive on how Japanese music has influenced The West for decades from The Quietus’ Deputy Editor Paddy Clarke, as well as Flavor Flav, Nobel Prize winner Jon Fosse, Mia Khalifa, the coolest night out in Brooklyn, an investigation of the little-known LA Takeover subculture, a fashion shoot at Mumbai Comic Con and loads, loads more. Great journalism alongside hilarious illustrations, absurdist photo features, and plain oddities, Ralph is celebrating pop culture… for the fun of it.
