Last One Laughing UK

I was skeptical about the premise of this, as improvisation comedy, on the face of it, is incredibly hard to do without being over the top. However, those familiar with 'Would I lie to you?' and 'IT Crowd' (and other British TV staples) would immediately know that these are some very talented comedians.

The whole show falls on whether these comedians have the ability to just be funny people in just everyday casual conversations, and they succeed with flying colours.

Moreover, the fact that the tension becomes more palpable every hour closer to the 6 hour time limit means that stakes naturally become higher and you see a lot of clever and amusing returns/quips; it is brilliant to see how comedians can receive a statement/joke and then immediately return it in such a inconceivably witty way.

Next season simply must have Lee Mack, David Mitchell and Rob Brydon. Also, Sean Lock (God bless his soul) would have been absolutely sensational at this.

Highly recommended.

Quick summary - one of the funniest shows I've ever seen.

I'm not a fan of Jimmy Carrs solo work, but when he's with others, it all falls into place.

I've tried watching other versions of this show, and they tend to not actually be particularly funny. Barely even a smile. This show however had me in stitches.

Seeing a range of comedians trying to make others laugh, and the others trying to stifle a laugh is a simple premise, and this selection of comedians absolutely nails it. I was unaware of a few of them, and now will keep an eye out for their tours as and when they tour.

I can't recommend this show enough.

I thought it was a weird setup for a program, so I was a bit skeptical at first-only clicked play because so many comedians I like were in the lineup.

Sure, I get that this isn't for everyone. It's not the usual overproduced, slapstick-style comedy that some seem to prefer. Instead, it's just a bunch of interesting people with great chemistry (and I'm sure they're good friends in real life) simply having fun. And that's exactly what makes it so enjoyable to watch.

If you enjoy shows such as 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, Would I Lie to You?, or even QI, you'll definitely enjoy this one.

If only the great Sean Lock was still with us-he would have been perfect for this.

If you're a fan of UK stand up and enjoy shows like Cats Does Countdown or Taskmaster this is absolutely for you.

I genuinely cried with laughter on episode two, I haven't laughed that hard in such a long time, hour later and I'm still smiling about it.

Weirdly I don't think you should binge it otherwise you're going to miss stuff. I shouldn't have gone straight to episode three after laughing so hard at the second one so I think I might go back and watch it again tomorrow before moving on to EP4.

Bravo to everyone involved, brilliant format and I'm going to be genuinely gutted when I've watched it all.

5th time I've tried to review after I wrote a long and intricate review, but I've given up.

It's funny watch it...

10 comedians. One rule. Do not laugh. Jimmy Carr has assembled ten of the UK's funniest people in one room and set them the challenge of making each other laugh, without laughing themselves. Over the course of the series, they will try any means necessary to try and break their opponents...but can they do it all with a straight face?
