Previews have been announced for Taskmaster: The Live Experience, which gives fans a chance to complete real tasks and compete against one another as Taskmaster contestants in this brand-new interactive adventure taking place in London. Previews run from 18th September to 1st October 2024 followed by the official run from 2nd October 2024 to 25th January 2025.

As another series of epic tasking draws to a close,  Greg Davies and Alex Horne are already excited to welcome the next batch of bright-eyed hopefuls to their BAFTA and National Comedy Award winning, international hit show. Taskmaster series 18 is set to air later this year on Channel 4. The news arrives shortly after Taskmaster: The Live Experience has been confirmed to go ahead this September.

Taskmaster VR, the game from Scallywag Arcade, is releasing on Meta Quest and SteamVR on June 13th and is available to pre-order on selected platforms now. The game allows players to step into the contestants’ shoes by competing in extraordinary challenges or to fill the industrious boots of the Taskmaster’s Assistant by creating tasks of their own and challenging their friends in local play.

Taskmaster star Alex Horne has appeared on Chris Moyles' Radio X show to talk about the upcoming tour with his band The Horne Section. He also revealed to stand-in host Toby Tarrant a few titbits about the upcoming series of Taskmaster. You can read an extract of their conversation below:

editor's note - we think that's Toby Tarrant in the picture although it does look a lot like Alex Horne.
