A night of comedy, trivia and a playful nod to the UK’s Taskmaster.
Love Taskmaster? This live comedy event is a chaotic, joyful love letter to the hit TV show – packed with absurd challenges, competitive banter, and laugh-out-loud moments you won’t see on screen.
Join us for an unforgettable night featuring stand-up from comedian Dhama, audience-facing trivia with a twist, and a panel of brilliant (and brave) guests attempting ridiculous live and pre-recorded tasks for totally meaningless points – and eternal bragging rights.
Presiding over the madness is Carrie Boyce, our delightfully stern Taskmaster-in-chief, with rule enforcement (and mischief) handled by her ever-patient assistant, Celia Du.
Under pressure are CBC’s Anthony Morgan, engineer-turned-comedian Lexa Graham, and the STEAM Sisters, Sandhya and Swapna Mylabathula, all vying to impress the Taskmaster and argue their way to victory.
If you love Taskmaster, live comedy shows, or ‘smart’ people doing very silly things, this is the event for you. Expect clever chaos, sharp wit, and the kind of comedy that only happens live. Seats are limited – grab your tickets and get ready to laugh.
