Mark Watson's 12-year-old son has just got a phone. His 70-year-old dad has been through the most frightening experience of his life. Both a dad and a kid himself, around the midpoint of his life, the Taskmaster star and multiple award-winner returns to Melbourne to consider the search for meaning that we're all on, with or without Google. There will be a lot of jokes.
