Last One Laughing UK

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.

I wasn't sure if I would like the concept, which has multiple versions from pretty much every country around the world, of comedians sat in a room, trying not to laugh. However, when those comedians are amongst the funniest people in the country right now, how could it not be great? Lou Sanders and Joe Wilkinson are, as always, highlights, but even though a couple of the guys aren't exactly my favourites, I wouldn't say there was any weak link. If you're a fan of some of these comedians then I'm sure you'll love the show, if you've never heard of most of them then then you probably won't. But that's kind of obvious, right?

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.

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?

Last One Laughing UK is available to watch on Prime Video. Prime Video is included with your prime membership. It's 8.99 a month or you can pay yearly.

If you're a fan of British comedy, you will absolutely love this.

Bob Mortimer, Joe Lycett, Joe Wilkinson, Richard Ayoade, Sarah Pascoe, Daisy May Cooper, it goes on and on! A-class comedians just making each other laugh, it's brilliant. If you want some easy, unserious watching to let off steam after a long day, this show is ideal. There are no scripted bits (other than the joker segments), it's just funny people being spontaneously funny. The wit is incredibly sharp, from Rob Beckett especially.

I'm looking forward to more series, showing off the full calibre of comedians Britain has to offer.
