Taskmaster is as much an entertainment show as it is a study in psychology. When one of the tasks in tonight’s edition is contained within a briefcase, four of the five comedians simply walk into the room, snap it open and get on with the important matter of making a coconut look like a businessman. But when Mark Watson sees the briefcase, he overthinks what’s going on, wrongly assumes there’s some sort of code to crack and takes six minutes to find his envelope.
Herein lies the beauty of this fantastically absurd programme, where some of the most enjoyable moments occur outside of the tasks themselves. The snarky-yet-affectionate exchanges between Taskmaster Greg Davies and his “little assistant” Alex Horne are worth tuning in for alone.
There are no live broadcasts scheduled for this show. But it is available via the streaming providers below.
