The comedic heavyweights of British television are assembling for what promises to be the most side-splitting challenge of the year. Amazon Prime Video has officially confirmed the stellar line-up for Last One Laughing UK, with broadcasting legend Graham Norton and comedy maestro Alan Carr leading an all-star cast.
This uproarious six-part series, based on the massive international format hit, pits ten of the nation's finest funny people against each other in a battle of sheer willpower. Their mission? To make their competitors crack a smile while maintaining their own stone-faced composure. The last celebrity standing wins a magnificent £100,000 donation for a charity of their choice.
A Who's Who of British Comedy
Joining hosts Norton and Carr is a veritable who's who of the UK comedy circuit. The confirmed contestants ready to try and break each other include:
- Lucy Beaumont (Meet the Richardsons)
- Jennifer Saunders (Absolutely Fabulous)
- Stephen Merchant (The Office, Extras)
- Victoria Wood (dinnerladies)
- Lee Mack (Would I Lie To You?)
- Dawn French (The Vicar of Dibley)
- David Mitchell (Peep Show)
- Sean Lock (8 Out of 10 Cats)
The Rules of the Game
The premise is deliciously simple yet devilishly difficult. The celebrities are confined to a room together for six hours, under the watchful eye of the cameras. Anything goes—from improvised sketches and character work to outright silliness—as long as it's within the show's guidelines.
The ultimate taboo? Letting out so much as a giggle, chuckle, or smirk. Each time a contestant laughs, they receive a strike. Three strikes, and they're immediately eliminated from the competition. The tension and absurdity build with each passing minute, creating a uniquely hilarious viewing experience.
For a Grand Cause
Beyond the bragging rights, the competition carries significant weight. The grand prize of £100,000 will be awarded to a charitable organisation selected by the victor, adding a layer of heartfelt purpose to the comedic chaos.
With such an incredible concentration of comedic talent in one room, Last One Laughing UK is poised to become the must-watch entertainment event of the season when it premieres exclusively on Amazon Prime Video.
