The new season promises more comedic chaos, surprise cameos, and format twists as contestants battle to be the last one laughing.

Key Takeaways

The Highly Anticipated Cast

The lineup for the second season of ‘Last One Laughing UK’ has been unveiled, featuring a formidable array of comedic talent. Returning to defend his crown from the inaugural season is Bob Mortimer. He will be joined by a fresh batch of comedians, including David Mitchell, Diane Morgan, Romesh Ranganathan, Amy Gledhill, Maisie Adam, Mel Giedroyc, Alan Carr, Gbemisola Ikumelo, and Sam Campbell.

This stellar cast will face the ultimate test of their comedic control, tasked by host Jimmy Carr to remain completely straight-faced throughout the day. The pressure is on, as any hint of a chuckle means elimination.

Format and Twists

‘Last One Laughing UK’ is based on the highly successful Amazon Original series from Japan, ‘Documental’, created by and starring Hitoshi Matsumoto. The core premise remains: ten comedians are locked in a room, using their wit and comedic skills to provoke laughter in their opponents while suppressing their own amusement. The stakes are high, as the last comedian to crack a smile wins.

Season 2 is set to feature surprise comedy cameos and unexpected format twists designed to test the contestants' resolve to the limit. Viewers can expect a day filled with hilarious attempts to break the other comedians, all while the participants strive to maintain their composure.

Host and Release Details

Award-winning comedian Jimmy Carr will once again take the helm as host, with Roisin Conaty returning as his deputy. Carr expressed his excitement for the new season, stating, "Usually when I make a TV show with 10 brilliant comics, I’m expecting everyone to have a bloody good laugh - but not in this series. The last one laughing wins. It’s a great format and it’s been a huge hit around the world. I can’t wait to see who cracks up first.”

The second season is slated to air on Prime Video in 2026. While specific release dates are yet to be announced, fans can anticipate another season of intense comedic duels and unexpected outbursts of laughter.
