Improv Corner - improv in the media - Taskmaster

I think when you do improv and you get the same suggestions or play the same games over and over again it can be hard to look at it from a different angle, however that is why Taskmaster is good because most of the time everyone approaches a task in a completely unique way and it is a metaphor for what improv is an can be.

Taskmaster review

Should you be looking for a show that treats its stars with utter disrespect, Taskmaster (C4) is just the ticket.

Spudgate: The damning new evidence

Analysis shows Joe Wilkinson may NOT have breached Taskmaster rules when it came to the infamous potato-throwing task.

Chortle, 7th April 2021

A new series of Taskmaster began, which has every promise to match the highs of the last. Chief among the promiseers in series 11 is Sarah Kendall, the driest of Aussies, yet we also have grumpy Jamali Maddix, Lee Mack and the like, and the mix works (again) wonderfully well, crushing together those who will solve an impossible problem in methodical fashion and those who will throw proven natural laws to all 13 winds. Trapping a giant motorised rat in a net from three metres away, conveying 24 unbroken dinner plates on a hoverboard through a hangar, inviting a helium balloon to behave - never mind Taskmaster, this should be the primary task for all diplomats and wannabe 007s. As ever, creator Alex Horne and Taskmaster Greg Davies fashion great humour from abject failure. I think Greg's resolutely kind demolition of Charlotte Ritchie - "you didn't think your left hand was for anything?" - represents a touchstone in anthropology.

Taskmaster review

As easy as keeping a cushion spinning on a finger.

TV review: Taskmaster, Series 11, Episode 1

This opening episode was one of the strongest out of all of them, and I'd be amazed if by the end this wasn't seen as one of the best, right up their with series 5 and 7.
