It’s official! Taskmaster is back for 2019. The comedy show, which is hosted by Greg Davies and Alex Horne, sees five celebrities take on all manner of tasks in a bid to win points and therefore bag themselves a Greg-Davies-shaped trophy.

Rose Matafeo, Jo Brand, Ed Gamble, David Baddiel and Katy Wix apparently had a blast filmed series 9 of the show.

Katy is an author

It turns out that Katy is a woman of many talents with singing and speaking basic French and Welsh as skills under her belt.

She’s also an author and has had two books published by Oberon books. You can buy The Oberon Book of Comic Monologues for Women volumes 1 and 2 online here. Her books are priced at £9.99.

Katy is listed online as a voice-over artist on Sue Terry Voices where examples of her work can be found.

Taskmaster looks to be a different kind of show for most people that take part but Katy wasn’t deterred by the programme’s terrifying host or ridiculous tasks.

On the topic of her game strategy, she said to Dave: “It was just to not make a fool of myself, and not ruin my career.”
