Alex Horne

Comedian · Bad Golf

Origin Story

The creator of Taskmaster brought the same playful spirit to golf, co-founding Bad Golf with fellow comedian John Robins.

The Origin Story

Alex Horne is a British comedian best known as the creator and co-host of Taskmaster and the leader of the musical comedy act The Horne Section.

How He Joined

Horne co-founded Bad Golf with his friend John Robins in February 2019, after the two realized they shared a love of golf, "albeit of the fairly unskilled variety."

Golf for the Rest of Us

Bad Golf launched on YouTube in February 2019. Horne and Robins were hooked on golf channels but found almost all of them aimed at players far better than themselves, so they made one for golfers like them. It also gave two busy comedians a reason to play regularly.

The pair played each other across a series of matches and courses each season, welcomed guests including Rick Shiels, and invited viewers to send in tips, proving even the most amateur matches can be thrilling.
