Cast includes some returning names
The line-up for the Halloween special of Last One Laughing has been officially announced.
Jack Dee, Daisy May Cooper, Phil Wang, Lou Sanders, Reece Shearsmith, Harriet Dyer and Tom Allen will all be taking part in the four-part series.
Cooper and Sanders return from series one – while the booking marks a major career boost for Dyer, who has had comparatively little TV exposure so far.
Jimmy Carr and Roisin Conaty will return to host.
As usual, the comedians must maintain a straight face while their rivals try to make them crack up. In a Halloween twist, screams are also forbidden.
Last One Laughing’s first three episodes drop on Amazon’s Prime Video on October 23, with the final episode available on October 30.
A third series of the show – adapted from a Japanese series entitled Documental – has been commissioned to air next year.
Versions have been made for 25 countries, and last week it was announced that the first Last One Laughing USA is in the works, but no presenter nor cast details have yet been revealed.
Yesteryday Carr announced that he has co-written a book about the craft of comedy.
