Prime Video is bringing the international hit show Last One Laughing to the UK, with comedian Jimmy Carr hosting. The show, which challenges comedians to make each other laugh while maintaining a straight face, will premiere on Thursday, March 20, 2025.
Here’s the Lowdown: Ten well-known British comedians, including Bob Mortimer, Daisy May Cooper, Joe Lycett, Judi Love, Rob Beckett, Sara Pascoe, Lou Sanders, Joe Wilkinson, Harriet Kemsley, and Richard Ayoade, will compete to see who can last the longest without laughing. The rules are simple: if you laugh, you’re eliminated. The show will feature surprise appearances and twists to try to catch the comedians out.
What This Means Now: UK comedy fans have a new show to anticipate on Prime Video. The format has been successful internationally, and this version brings together a strong lineup of British talent. The involvement of Jimmy Carr, known for his dark humor, is a major draw.
The Bigger Picture: This move by Prime Video shows their continued investment in original content and their focus on adapting successful international formats for local audiences. Last One Laughing UK, produced by Initial and Zeppotron, is another move to attract viewers with familiar faces and a proven comedy concept. The show adds to Prime’s growing library of unscripted content.
