Tom Gleeson is back, bringing with him his assistant “lesser Tom” and five brand new comedians - Aaron Chen, Concetta Caristo, Mel Buttle, Peter Helliar and Rhys Nicholson. In our season opener, we see epic winks, flying discs, and birthdays revealed.

The second episode of our second season sees the first team task take place, with a puzzle task made harder by cumbersome costumes. Aaron Chen also exposes Tom Cashman’s lack of German language skills, and Peter Helliar gives a Shakespearean performance.

Rhys Nicholson invents a new game that’s sure to take Australia (and the world) by storm, Concetta Caristo is successfully very mean to Tom Cashman, and Mel Buttle creates an extremely stylish but not very functional piece of furniture.

Episode four sees Taskmaster Tom Gleeson making some contentious calls on what constitutes a hot club, Concetta Caristo looks to make an honest man out of Tom Cashman, and Aaron Chen does his best to destroy a set of bathroom scales.

We’re halfway through the series and the competition to win Tom Gleeson’s cranium in trophy form couldn’t be closer. This episode sees the almost impossible task of teaching the Taskmaster about something he doesn’t know, as well as searching for a duck giving out unsubstantiated medical advice.

In our sixth episode of Taskmaster Australia Mel Buttle writes and performs a country-rap about a taxi driver, Aaron Chen soaks some bathroom towels in a bucket of coffee, Peter Helliar is very unwelcoming and Tom Cashman gets attacked by a brazen sheep.
