Comics try to impress Greg Davies

Jon Richardson, Richard Osman, Joe Wilkinson, Katherine Ryan and Doc Brown are the comedians who will be set challenges by Greg Davies.

Taskmaster started out as a live show at the 2010 Edinburgh, transferring to TV last year with Roisin Conaty, Tim Key, Romesh Ranganathan, Frank Skinner and Josh Widdicombe. Widdicombe even resorted to getting Greg’s name tattooed on his foot to secure his place as series victor.
