The publicly-voted Comedy.co.uk Awards has named Taskmaster as 2025’s Comedy Of The Year. 

Created, written by, and starring Alex Horne alongside Greg Davies, the Channel 4 format broadcast two series in 2025, and was also named Best TV Entertainment Show. Separately, Horne and his comedy musical group bandmates also took the title of Best Returning TV Sitcom for their eponymous mockumentary The Horne Section TV Show.

Meanwhile, Amandaland, the hit BBC spin-off from Motherland, was named Best New TV Sitcom. Having debuted in February, its Christmas special was the most-watched scripted comedy on television all year.

Concluding their 19th year, the Comedy.co.uk Awards are derived entirely from a public vote. Two rounds of voting during January saw the 283 productions to air in 2025 whittled down to a shortlist of six in each of ten categories, with voters also asked to pick a single favourite Comedy Of The Year.
