Prime Video's Last One Laughing Returns for Season Two with Bob Mortimer as Defending Champion
Fans of Prime Video's hit comedy series Last One Laughing have only a short wait until the show makes its highly anticipated return to screens. The upcoming second season will feature reigning champion Bob Mortimer taking on a brand new lineup of comedians in a battle to stifle laughter and smiles. Hosts Jimmy Carr and Roisin Conaty will once again oversee the action from the hot seat, monitoring the comics as they compete in a confined room until only one remains without breaking into laughter.
New Competitors and Release Schedule
This season, winner Bob Mortimer, aged 66, will defend his Last One Laughing crown against a star-studded cast including David Mitchell, Diane Morgan, and Romesh Ranganathan. The lineup is completed by comedians Amy Gledhill, Maisie Adam, Mel Giedroyc, Alan Carr, Gbemisola Ikumelo, and Sam Campbell. To reach the finale, these newcomer comics must overcome legendary comedian Bob, who famously broke all 11 of his rivals with his hilarious jokes in the first season.
The release schedule has been confirmed, with the first three of six episodes set to hit the streaming service on March 19. Two more episodes will follow on March 26, and the finale is scheduled for April 2. This structured rollout allows viewers to gradually build anticipation for the climactic showdown.
Memorable Moments from Season One
To highlight Bob Mortimer's comedic prowess, here are some of his funniest moments from the inaugural series that left audiences and fellow comedians in stitches:
- The Magic Show: Early in the first episode, Bob performed a 'magic' routine that included levitating a tea towel, 'birthing' a chicken from a raw egg, and balancing carrots against gravity. His encouraging 'shh' between acts had comedians struggling not to laugh, with host Jimmy Carr seen crying with laughter in the camera room.
- The Song: Bob targeted actress Daisy May Cooper with silly songs, including Slender People, with lyrics like 'Slender people fit through gaps, and slender men look sweet in f**king slacks.' Daisy was forced to flee, but Bob followed her around for a second rendition.
- The Chair Incident: In a non-joke moment, Bob cracked Judi Love by sitting on a chair that made a loud noise. The resulting stunned silence and side-eye left Judi in fits of giggles, earning her a red card.
- Harriett's Divorce: Bob nearly broke comedian Harriett by asking if her divorce was due to diarrhoea, quipping, 'It can come between a man and a woman.' Rob Beckett added, 'Especially if you're spooning,' causing Harriett and others to walk away.
- Meats and Cheeses: During a face-off with Richard Ayoade, Bob joked about Richard's parents working at NASA, with Bob retorting, 'That's the supermarket?' and 'Meats and cheeses always pleases,' nearly cracking the remaining comedians.
- The One Liner: In the final joke showdown, Bob delivered a one-liner about a man in a cemetery, causing Richard to crack up and securing Bob's victory. Richard later reflected, 'I had nothing and he was on a horse opposite me with a pocket full of material.'
These moments underscore why Bob Mortimer is a formidable champion, and they set the stage for an even more hilarious and competitive season two. With a mix of veteran and newcomer comedians, Last One Laughing promises to deliver non-stop laughter and unexpected twists as Bob defends his title against all odds.
