Fringe 2022: Here are the 11 Taskmaster contestants who have announced shows

Taskmaster is arguably one of the best examples of British comedy in recent years. Its format is simple but clever. The fact that famous comedians are the contestants has meant it has become one of the funniest and most recognisable shows on our screens.

The Island review

I watched Dave's new comedy format The Island, not knowing it had been devised by stand-ups James Acaster, Ed Gamble, Lloyd Langford and John Robins when they got stranded in New York by a storm. That fact came as something as a surprise, given the show feels less than an idea created organically by some fine comic minds, and more like the brainchild of a UKTV exec trying to engineer something to fill a Taskmaster-shaped hole left after their biggest show got poached by Channel 4.

The Island review
