This is a British comedy show that you can see here on YouTube. It is ostensibly a game show but really is watched for the comedy.
Taskmaster Greg Davies set a series of simple and bizarre challenges to five comedians who are the contestants. The tasks – usually performed alone, but sometimes in teams – are funny and challenging.
The first season included such things as doing something that will look impressive in reverse, cooking a meal using ingredients representing every letter of the alphabet (this one had us looking up what begins with X), making a huge block of ice disappear, and drawing a picture while riding on the back of a trotting horse.
Part of the fun comes in listening to the contestants justify their methods and results — they are comedians, after all, and can get hilariously creative as they think outside the box.
We just finished season one and I'm delighted to see that there are eight more seasons awaiting us.
