I have a confession to make. I am an addict. An addict for Taskmaster UK. So of course my love for Edmontask is biased towards the shows overall format and the general premise of local...celebrities?...making fools of themselves for our entertainment.

The August 17th show I saw this year I thought was stronger than the show I saw last year...but that's the nature of unscripted shows with every changing cast lineups.

While I want to give the show 5 stars, I think improvement could be made in the tasks themselves. While I appreciate budget constraints (Edmontask does not have Channel 4 money) and perhaps, editing constraints (20+ minute tasks would take a lot more effort to edit down to fit in the Fringe time allotment), I'd love to see more task options that provide contestants with opportunities for lateral thinking with longer time allowances or involve a little more complexity than writing a fortune.

I also think it would also be fun to have a Champion of Champions edition each festival where the winners face off.

But overall it was an absolute hoot of an hour and loved that it started my day.
