The global phenomenon Taskmaster, hosted by the commanding Greg Davies as the almighty Taskmaster and his loyal assistant Alex Horne, has unveiled an exciting new line-up of comedians for its eagerly awaited 19th series. The BAFTA and National Comedy Award-winning, International Emmy-nominated show will soon air on Channel 4 and will also be available for international audiences via the official Taskmaster YouTube channel and Taskmaster SuperMax+.
Stepping into the spotlight to face the most bizarre and entertaining challenges on television are:

These competitors will battle for points, eternal glory, and the elusive favour of the Taskmaster. But only one will hoist the trophy, claim victory, and join the ranks of Taskmaster champions.
The original UK version of Taskmaster is now watched in 120 countries, and its popularity continues to grow internationally.
