Prime Video has revealed the stellar line-up for UK Original series Last One Laughing UK. The series will feature a multitude of British comics: Bob Mortimer, Daisy May Cooper, Joe Lycett, Judi Love, Rob Beckett, Sara Pascoe, Lou Sanders, Joe Wilkinson, Harriet Kemsley and Richard Ayoade – with Jimmy Carr in the host’s seat alongside special guest Rosin Conaty.

Famous for his dark humour, one-liners and THAT laugh, Jimmy Carr challenges 10 of Britain’s funniest comics to spend the day together without so much as a titter. The rules are simple: laugh and you’re out. Over the course of the series, they will use every ounce of their comedic talents to try and break their opponents – without cracking up themselves. And it’s not just their rivals they need to watch out for. The series is packed with comedy cameos, format twists and surprises designed to lure laughs from both the players and the viewers. It’s a stellar line up of British comedy talent as you’ve never seen them before, but who will be crowned the inaugural winner of Last One Laughing UK?

Last One Laughing UK is the latest adaptation of the successful Amazon Original series from Japan entitled Documental, created by and starring Hitoshi Matsumoto and owned by Yoshimoto Kogyo, where Matsumoto leads 10 comedians betting their own money in an anything goes “battle of laughter behind closed doors.” The fan-favourite Last One Laughing format became the most watched title of all time on Prime Video in France, Germany and Italy, and had hugely successful local versions in over 20 territories. Local celebrity hosts include Graham Norton (Ireland), Jay Baruchel (Canada), Eugenio Derbez (Mexico), Fedez (Italy), Michael “Bully” Herbig (Germany), Rebel Wilson (Australia) and Trevor Noah (South Africa).

Last One Laughing UK is produced by Banijay UK labels Zeppotron and Initial.
