Taskmaster 2026

Taskmaster 2026

Following last year’s roaring success in the Gala Theatre, TV’s silliest iconic game show is returning to Durham! With laughs guaranteed and all proceeds going to charity, this is one hectic night you do not want to miss!


Taskmaster Durham’ is a student version of the hit TV show, adapted to the stage in Durham for the third-year running. This show involves Durham students taking on a series of ridiculous tasks, under the watchful eye of the Taskmaster’s Assistant (Michael Nevin), for ultimate judgement by the Taskmaster (Ollie Cochran). As in the TV version, much of the evening will be improvised, with the live reactions to the tasks and the Taskmaster’s judgment both unscripted and entirely changeable. The performances will follow the structure of an episode of the show - prize task; a combination of live and pre-recorded tasks both individually and in groups; final live task of the night.
