Who's in Taskmaster Series 20

The contestants for the much-awaited Series 20 of Taskmaster have been announced, promising a new wave of hilarity. This season will feature the comedic talents of stand-up comedians Ania Magliano, Maisie Adam, Phil Ellis, Reece Shearsmith from Inside No 9, and Sanjeev Bhaskar from Goodness Gracious Me.

The announcement comes hot on the heels of the conclusion of Series 19, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the next dose of comedic challenges. However, the transmission date for the new series is yet to be disclosed.

Adding an extra layer of excitement, Taskmaster has teamed up with English Heritage to offer humorous tasks at iconic locations like Stonehenge, Whitby Abbey, and Dover Castle. This initiative will run from July 19 to August 31, providing a unique twist to the summer.

In a move to engage young minds, 100 UK secondary schools will get a chance to participate in the Taskmaster Club for free, thanks to a collaboration with the Intellectual Property Office. This initiative aims to spread joy and creativity among students.
