Greg Davies is the Taskmaster who, with the help of his right-hand man, Alex, sets out to test the wiles, wit and wisdom of five hyper competitive comedians through a series of ingenious challenges. With the chance to be crowned show champion, rivalry amongst the comedians is encouraged, dodgy tactics rewarded and bribes accepted.
Next Episode is 'I Corroborate' (Season 21 Episode 5) and airs on 07 May 2026 15:00 (CDT).
S21E2 - Leg Up, Johnny!
Armando Iannucci adopts a new persona before performing a daring stunt, Kumail Nanjiani grapples with some skittles while wearing oven gloves and Joanna Page attempts a tricky skill she hasn't tried since she was 12 years old. Elsewhere, Joel Dommett twirls a pretty umbrella and someone shouts about scrambled eggs to Amy Gledhill.
Air Date: 16 Apr 2026 15:00 (CDT)
S21E3 - A Creepy Bit Of Advice
Alex Horne treats the contestants to a song, but not everyone appreciates it. Kumail Nanjiani embraces Amy Gledhill and Joel Dommett while they ask him questions about a horse. Joanna Page reveals her favourite childhood tipple, and Armando Iannucci goes for an ice cream.

S21E4 - Lou Reed And The Wombles
Greg Davies judges the competence of five comics in tasks involving a cloche, a jar of dice and giant pencils. Joanna Page holds a sheep above her head, Amy Gledhill bursts a balloon in the lab and Kumail Nanjiani gives an ostrich some fangs. Elsewhere, Armando Iannucci and Joel Dommett both find unusual substitutes for sweets, while the normally infallible Alex Horne makes a rare error.

S21E5 - I Corroborate
As the series reaches its halfway point, the Taskmaster is starting to know what to expect from his current crop of comics. But even he's surprised by the outrage Armando Iannucci causes with an ostrich, how Amy Gledhill struggles to remember the word for 'tube', and what Kumail Nanjiani does to time itself. Meanwhile, Joel Dommett has hours of fun with pots and pans, and Joanna Page and Alex Horne have an intimate conversation about guinea pigs while they wait for Armando to come and join them.

S21E6 - An Even Bigger Spoon
The heated contest continues as Armando Iannucci douses a coconut in vinegar while Joel Dommett slathers another in glue. Amy Gledhill gets creative with a series of spoons. Kumail Nanjiani impresses everyone with his extraordinarily strong jaw, and Little Alex Horne causes Joanna Page to scream in such terror that it sparks alarm in the local area.
