Taskmaster - Season 5

Season 5

Taskmaster Australia returns for its fifth season with a new lineup of comedians tested by Taskmaster Tom Gleeson and his assistant Tom Cashman.

Featuring are Rove McManus, Celia Pacquola, Anisa Nandaula, Brett Blake and Joel Creasey.

These five comedians will be put to the ultimate test as they're faced with an array of tasks ranging from the seemingly simple to the mind-bendingly bonkers. And, we'll be there to laugh at them every step of the way. Er, we mean laugh with them!

In the end, only one can be the winner and hold the golden trophy of the Taskmaster's huge head above their own, basking in the glory of completing a series of meaningless tasks all for our enjoyment.
