Frankie Boyle, Mae Martin lead Taskmaster Season 15 line-up

Taskmaster has unveiled its line-up of contestants for Season 15.
The BAFTA and National Comedy Award-winning competition series sees a group of comedians take on a string of surreal and pointless challenges, placing themselves under the scrutiny of Taskmaster Greg Davies and the watchful eye of his obedient assistant Little Alex Horne.
Season 14, which came to its grand climax this week, saw Dara Ó Briain face off against Fern Brady, John Kearns, Munya Chawawa and Sarah Millican. Now, hot on the heels of the finale, Channel 4 is already looking ahead to its future, with another half-dozen of comedy’s best and bravest souls signing up to compete.
Specifically, they will be Scottish comedian Frankie Boyle (Frankie Boyle’s New World Order), comic and writer Ivo Graham (The Stand Up Sketch Show), actor and writer Kiell Smith-Bynoe (Ghosts, Enterprice), comedian and novelist Jenny Eclair (Skins) and comic and actor Mae Martin (Feel Good).
There’s no confirmed date yet for when Season 15 will premiere, but Channel 4 will be bringing Taskmaster back before then for a New Year’s special, featuring Amelia Dimoldenberg (Chicken Shop Date), Carol Vorderman (Pride of Britain), Greg James, Sir Mo Farah, and Rebecca Lucy Taylor aka Self Esteem.
The Season 15 line-up was unveiled with a cryptic musical teaser:
