Taskmaster is Channel 4’s BAFTA-winning smash hit comedy entertainment show where the almighty Taskmaster (Greg Davies), with the help of his loyal assistant (Alex Horne, also the show’s creator), sets out to test the wiles, wit, and wisdom of five hyper-competitive comedians through a series of ludicrous tasks.

Taskmaster Education takes elements of the show and uses them to inspire, engage and teach children and young people. Working as a team improves a child’s sense of belonging, and the varied nature of tasks means that it’s not always the same (sporty or academic) children who do well. And when the the team approached us to bring this version to Deer Shed we jumped at the chance. Especially with The Horne Section being on the bill it felt this year like the perfect fit. We can't wait!
