Taskmaster
You seemed absolutely beside yourself with excitement to be on Taskmaster. Is it fair to say you’re a fan of the show?
Yeah, I fucking love it, it’s the best show on telly.
What is it that makes it so special?
It’s just so daft. Doing stupid shit for no reason is important to me, it’s part of my lifeblood. And lots of grown adults doing that makes me very happy.
Taskmaster has revealed the latest line-up of contestants who are set to compete in the 15th series of the critically-acclaimed task tournament. The infallible Greg Davies will reprise his role as the formidable Taskmaster, accompanied by his faithful sidekick Little Alex Horne who is poised and ready to provide stats, data and occasional comfort in the most bizarre yet cut-throat show on television.
Comedian, broadcaster, and Taskmaster star Munya Chawawa has announced plans for his debut headline live UK tour in October 2023. As a master of comedy, Chawawa is at the forefront of a new age of entertainment. Emerging from the digital world, Munya burst onto the scene thanks to his satirical humour, rapid reactive observations, and roster of original characters. Including performances across the UK. The tour will kick off in Leicester on 5th October before wrapping in Bournemouth on 27th October 2023.
The pace is hotting up in the current series of Taskmaster with the relative competitive edges of the contestants – Fern Brady, Darsa O Briain, John Kearns, Sarah Millican and Munya Chawawa – starting to show.
Australia’s Paramount have picked up the rights of the global hit Taskmaster format from Avalon.
Paramount have ordered a series of 10x60’ episodes of ‘Taskmaster Australia’ to be produced by Avalon Television with Kevin & Co for Network 10. Set to air in 2023, the show will be hosted by Tom Gleeson and Tom Cashman.
There is usually one household name in the Taskmaster line-up but this fourteenth, yes, fourteenth, series has really pulled out the big guns, with two genuine TV stars. There is Sarah Millican and Dara O Briain – neither seems that keen on the old duffer role – joined by John Kearns, Munya Chawawa and Fern Brady. Who will bag the crown? It's anybody's guess.
The line-up has been revealed for the next series of Taskmaster following the second Champion of Champions edition* (spoiler at bottom of article so don't read on if you haven't watched yet).
The next five contestants are Dara O Briain, Fern Brady, Munya Chawawa, John Kearns and Sarah Mlllican.
And of course Greg Davies and Alex Horne will be back to present it.
It is hard to predict who will triumph as all are interesting, intriguing additions to the Taskmaster roster.
For those of you sad that the current series of Taskmaster – won by Sophie Duker – is over this week there is some good news. Next week there will be another one-off Champion of Champions episode.
The line-up features five previous winners of the show fronted by Alex Horne and Greg Davies.
They are Ed Gamble, Kerry Godliman, Richard Herring, Liza Tarbuck and Lou Sanders.
Another group of intrepid comedians have volunteered to take part in Taskmaster. They are Sophie Duker, Ardal O'Hanlon, Bridget Christie, Chris Ramsey and Judi Love.
Whenever the line-up is announced there is usually a flurry of sad old gits, cynics and trolls who tweet "Never heard of any of them". So just for their benefit here is a bit more information on the talent this time round.
Channel 4’s BAFTA and National Comedy Award-winning behemoth is back for a brand-new series as Greg Davies’s revered golden noggin will be won for the 13th time by the comic who proves their mettle over 10 gruelling episodes.
Ever present throughout proceedings is Greg’s miniature sidekick, Alex Horne, gripping onto his tablet for dear life and looking very proud of himself for being so ruthlessly efficient in administering each and every task.
