Line-up announced
The line-up has been revealed for the second series of Last One Laughing, with Bob Mortimer confirmed to be returning to defend his series one crown.
Also taking part are David Mitchell, Diane Morgan, Romesh Ranganathan, Amy Gledhill, Maisie Adam, Mel Giedroyc, Alan Carr, Gbemisola Ikumelo and Sam Campbell.
Jimmy Carr will again host, with Roisin Conaty returning as his deputy, it was confirmed at the Edinburgh TV Festival today.
The show has already been filmed and will air on Amazon’s Prime Video in 2026. Mortimer and Gledhill’s roles had been leaked last month.
It will also feature other comedians in cameo roles, with series one featuring memorable appearances by Danny Dyer and Nick Mohammed’s Mr Swallow.
Comics taking part have to make the others laugh without cracking up themselves – and getting evicted from the room.
Series one attracted up to 6.1million viewers an episode, making it the second most streamed show on the platform in the UK after Clarkson's Farm.
It is just many national adaptations of the original Japanese series Documental, created by Hitoshi Matsumoto, which have including an Irish version hosted by Graham Norton, a South African one hosted by Trevor Noah and an Australian adaptation hosted by Rebel Wilson.
The other comedians in series one of the UK series were Daisy May Cooper, Joe Lycett, Judi Love, Rob Beckett, Sara Pascoe, Lou Sanders, Joe Wilkinson, Harriet Kemsley and Richard Ayoade.
Last One Laughing is made by production companies Zeppotron and Initial.
