Taskmasterclass promises to pull back the curtain on the long-running game show, answering fans’ burning questions about how exactly such a bonkers show is put together. Davies and Horne are set to narrate the show, which will also be full of interviews with previous contestants such as Ed Gamble, Jo Brand and Morgana Robinson.

The hour-long episodes will be based around a theme each week, with episode one looking at “whether there is any point to the seemingly pointless tasks”. We will also get an insight in to the unique minds that think up the tasks and if what we see on screen is a true reflection of the contestants’ attempts.

With season 18 already filmed and Junior Taskmaster on the way, now is a great time to be a fan of the silly and hilarious game show, so keep reading as we explain how to watch Taskmasterclass live streams from absolutely anywhere and for free.

What is Taskmaster?

The main Taskmaster show was created by Alex Horne, originally as an Edinburgh Fringe show. UK comedy network Dave commissioned a TV version, bringing Greg Davies on board.

The show began on Dave in 2015, airing nine seasons before moving to Channel 4 in 2020. There have also been special editions such as Champion of Champions and New Years Treat.

Throughout each series, a group of five celebrities (usually comedians) are assigned a series of absurd tasks to complete, with Davies handing out points based on their performance. The contestant with the most points becomes that series’ winner.
