Taskmaster | Series 18 Preview (Channel 4)

The almighty Greg Davies and his Little Alex Horne are already excited to welcome the next batch of bright-eyed hopefuls to their BAFTA and National Comedy Award winning, international hit show.



Hoping to pass muster and be the best are: comedian, host of The Bugle Podcast and cricket statistician Andy Zaltzman (The News Quiz, BBC Radio 4), comedian, actor and podcaster Babatunde Aléshé (Celebrity Gogglebox, C4).



Plus actor, comedian and writer Emma Sidi (Starstruck, BBC Three/HBO Max), legendary stand-up and writer Jack Dee (I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue, BBC Radio 4), and stand-up, presenter, actor and author Rosie Jones (Trip Hazard, C4).


This group have all agreed to attempt a series of Tasks that will test their wits, their reasoning, their problem-solving and whether or not they can locate hidden rockets under pressure. The Taskmaster will judge their efforts with his customary merciless precision, and will eventually award one his coveted golden head.




Elsewhere, Taskmaster: The Live Experience is set to launch on 2nd October. The brand-new interactive adventure allows fans to step into the shoes of their favourite comedians and enter the world of Taskmaster.


Taskmaster returns Thursday 12th September at 9pm on Channel 4.
