Taskmaster – The Live Experience
It’s not just television comics who can enjoy the opportunity of impressing Greg Davies, thanks to the recently announced “Taskmaster – The Live Experience”.
The show’s makers have announced a brand-new interactive adventure where you can compete in tasks similar to those seen on screen.
Compete against your friends and family to battle for points and be crowned the winner. Led by bespoke video instructions from Little Alex Horne himself, you will compete against your friends and family in a bid to be crowned Taskmaster Champion.
The experience is running from 18th September 2024 – 25th January 2025 at Dock X, Canada Water, Central London.
Initially, entry is via a ticket ballot (the draw takes place on 19th June). Then, tickets go on general sale from 21st June.
You can sign up at http://www.taskmasterliveexperience.com. Those already on the Taskmaster: The Live Experience mailing list are already in the ballot.
Taskmaster Greg Davies and his assistant Little Alex Horne said:
“We were hoping 100,000 people might sign up to the Live Experience mailing list, but when 250,000 did, we were excited and scared respectively. Do you want to compete in ludicrous tasks, just like your favourite comedians? Of course you do! And you can still sign up to Taskmaster: The Live Experience mailing list right now to enter the ticket ballot”.

All previous editions of the show are available to stream at Channel 4.
