The Taskmaster Greg Davies and his unfailingly loyal, surprisingly hench assistant Alex Horne return with a brand new collection of comics who willingly signed up for definite fun and inevitable humiliation. The fantastic five hoping to win Greg’s golden bonce are: Amy Gledhill, Armando Iannucci, Joanna Page, Joel Dommett and Kumail Nanjiani, all of whom go hunting for a small creature, serve Greg vegetables and attempt to catch a golden t-shirt. But who will find all the oranges?

Why did you want to do Taskmaster? I've always wanted to do the show. Over the last five or six years, people have known me primarily as a presenter, but I've never stopped doing stand-up. I love being a comedian, and I love being part of the comedy community in this country. Taskmaster is one of

Kumail / Taskmaster S21

Why did you say ‘yes’ to Taskmaster? My wife and I have been fans of Taskmaster for years. We started watching back in season seven. It started because of James Acaster – who has become a very good friend of ours. I heard his name through Edinburgh Festival, then we watched all his stand-up and

Greg and Alex / Taskmaster S21

What did you make of Joanna Page? A: Joanna was an absolute revelation because you largely see an actor playing their character, or being interviewed, and neither of those give you a full picture of the person. We suddenly had this other side of Joanna Page revealed to us, and that is someone who's
