FIVE more comedians are putting their credibility on the line as Taskmaster returns to our screens.
The show, that causes the most confident comic to crumble under pressure, is back on Channel 4 TONIGHT (March 18, 2021).
Charlotte Ritchie is a familiar face to Call The Midwife fans, having starred in the series as Barbara from 2015 until her character’s death in 2018.
She’s starred in numerous sitcoms including Dead Pixels, Feel Good and Ghosts.
Charlotte landed her first major role as Melissa “Oregon” Shawcross in Fresh Meat in 2011, and played Hannah in Siblings.
The 31-year-old is also a singer with female quartet All Angels, who supported Katherine Jenkins in 2009.
Jamali Maddix, 29, is a British comedian known for his documentary Hate Thy Neighbour.
The funnyman confronts far-right groups on the rise in the UK, US and Europe spreading hate across the world.
Jamali was the host of Comedy Central At The Edinburgh Fringe in 2020 and has made appearances on comedy panel shows including Frankie Boyle’s New World Order, 8 Out Of 10 Cats and Hypothetical.
He caused controversy in February 2021 by saying on The Last Leg that he would not have the coronavirus vaccine as he did not trust the Government.
Lancashire born comic Lee Mack, 52, began his TV career in 1997 on the comedy show Gas.
From 2001 until 2004 he appeared on The Sketch Show, before taking over as host of They Think It’s All Over in 2005.
He has gone on to become a household name after becoming team captain opposite David Mitchell on Would I Lie To You?
Lee also stars in sitcom Not Going Out.
Mike Wozniak is a British comedian, writer, and actor.
Despite starring in Greg Davies‘ sitcom, Man Down, it is unlikely he will receive any favouritism from the Taskmaster.
He is also one of the writers and stars of the St Elwick’s Neighbourhood Association Newsletter Podcast.
Sarah Kendall is an Austrlian actress known for the sitcom Frayed.
She is the series creator and writer and also starred in it as Sammy Cooper.
Sarah has also appeared in TV sketch show Beehive.
The 44-year-old moved to the UK in 2000 and is married to British comedy writer Henry Naylor.
Season 11 begins at 9pm on Thursday, March 18.
The series consists of 10 episodes, after which one will be crowned the winner and will receive a trophy of Taskmaster Greg’s head.
Greg is the titular Taskmaster setting fiendish tasks for the five panellists.
Alex Horne acts as Greg’s assistant and umpire during the challenges.
After the challenges have been shown it is up to the Taskmaster to allocate points – and he can be ruthless.
