Never before in the field of entertainment was so much owed by so many to so few. The comedians who appear on Taskmaster are brave souls willing to expose the inner workings of their minds for the sake of dumb fun (and a boost in tour and book sales).
Taskmaster is a great leveller that celebrates both genius and failure. There’s nowhere to hide. You can start off in week one as a famed intellectual, by week eight you’re the man who couldn’t successfully hide an aubergine. Exude cool as a stand-up on stage in your professional career? Try to maintain that composure while competitively throwing wet teabags into a mug and let’s see who’s the cool guy now.
It’s a show that rewards originality, unique thinking and commitment to absurdity and laughs. All of the contestants below demonstrated that and more, earning them...

Rylan has taken aim at scalpers after tickets for Eurovision 2023 sold out in just over half an hour.
This year, Eurovision is being held in Liverpool. Ukraine, the winners of the 2022 contest, were unable to host due to the ongoing war with Russia.
On Tuesday (7 March), tickets for the event went on sale online, but left many fans empty-handed.
Ticketmaster’s website crashed following the rush to purchase tickets, and tickets have subsequently emerged on resale sites for thousands of pounds.
You can follow the latest updates here.
Writing on Twitter, Rylan – who co-hosted the handover and allocation draw earlier this year, and who has been a commentator for the Eurovision semi-finals since 2018 – condemned those who are reselling tickets at vastly inflated prices.
“To the people selling Eurovision tickets at Ridiculous resale prices that arnt [sic] proper fans – p****s,” he wrote, alongside a Gif of a man extending his middle finger.

It takes many people to fill Richard Osman’s shoes, and not just because he wears a size 14. Back in April 2021, the TV presenter, producer and novelist announced that he was leaving his co-presenter role on Pointless to focus on his hugely successful Thursday Murder Club book series and other projects. Due to the ‘stars we see in the night sky are actually hundreds of years in the past’ nature of TV broadcast, by that point, Osman was already four months out of the job. His final episode of the regular Pointless (he’ll still appear on the celebrity editions) was filmed in December 2021 and aired in July 2022, with this touching message to Alexander Armstrong.
When Pointless returned for Series 28 in September 2022, it came with a rotating clutch of new guest-hosts sitting behind Osman’s fact-checking desk. First up was Sally Lindsay, and following her were Stephen Mangan, Lauren Laverne,...
