Get Ready to Giggle (or Not!): 'Last One Laughing UK' Returns for Season 2

Prepare for another round of stoic faces and suppressed snickers as the hit comedy challenge, 'Last One Laughing UK', is set to return to Prime Video for its second season. Hosted once again by the inimitable Jimmy Carr, the show pits ten of Britain's funniest comedians against each other in a battle of wills, where the last one to crack a smile wins.

Key Takeaways

• The Cast Revealed: A star-studded lineup of ten comedians will compete, including the reigning champion Bob Mortimer.

• Return of the Host: Jimmy Carr is back to preside over the laughter-inducing (and stifling) chaos.

• Release Window: The new season is slated for an early 2026 launch on Prime Video.

The Laughter Gauntlet

'Last One Laughing UK' is an adaptation of the popular Japanese format 'Documental'. The premise is simple yet challenging: ten comedians are locked in a room and must do everything they can to make each other laugh, while simultaneously refraining from laughing themselves. Any comedian who cracks a smile or laughs is eliminated. The last comedian standing, having maintained a poker face throughout, is crowned the winner.

Who's Back and Who's New?

Series one victor Bob Mortimer is returning to defend his title, making him an early favourite. He will be joined by a fresh batch of comedic talent, alongside some familiar faces. The full lineup for season two includes:

• Bob Mortimer

• Alan Carr

• Amy Gledhill

• David Mitchell

• Diane Morgan

• Gbemisola Ikumelo

• Maisie Adam

• Mel Giedroyc

• Romesh Ranganathan

• Sam Campbell

Jimmy Carr will once again host the proceedings, with Roisin Conaty returning as his deputy, observing the contestants from a separate room and providing commentary.

What to Expect

Viewers can anticipate a series packed with unexpected twists, surprise guest appearances, and the comedians employing their full arsenal of comedic skills to break their opponents. The challenge lies not only in resisting their rivals' attempts at humour but also in managing their own reactions to the unpredictable nature of the show. The first season saw Bob Mortimer emerge victorious over a strong field including Richard Ayoade, Daisy May Cooper, and Joe Lycett.

How to Watch

'Last One Laughing UK' season two will be available exclusively on Prime Video in early 2026. The first season is currently available to stream on Prime Video for subscribers.
