His trademark neat suit and impressive moustache promises to tell us a tale. It’s a tale about his great-aunt Zusa and her journey from war-struck Poland to Luton via a circuitous selection of European countries and a series of unbelievable scrapes. He reassures us that a “reserve” of jokes are available in case of emergency.
“Deliciously distinctive fun”
– The Standard
“Mike Wozniak”
– The Guardian
Thanks to his 2021 appearance on Taskmaster, Wozniak is now a familiar figure in many UK households. The impeccably polite, charmingly sincere persona we saw on the comedy game show is at the heart of Zusa, as we settle in for 90 minutes of warm and whimsical storytelling.
We learn about his Catholic relative and how her wartime displacement left her in a lifelong state of alert. Wozniak warns us that this biographical tale may not be 100 per cent accurate – as diversions about a murdered guinea pig and an amnesiac with an albatross-shaped birthmark soon make clear.
