2025 British TV series or programme
LOL: Last One Laughing UK is a British comedy reality television series based on the Japanese show Documental. Hosted by Jimmy Carr, the show features ten comedians competing to make each other laugh without laughing themselves. The last contestant to keep a straight face wins the trophy.
The show brings together ten well-known comedians who must compete to remain expressionless while attempting to make their competitors laugh. Any contestant who laughs, smirks, or visibly reacts is given a warning, followed by elimination upon a second offence. The last remaining comedian is declared the winner and receives the LOL UK Trophy.[1]
The UK version of LOL: Last One Laughing follows successful international adaptations of the format, including editions in Australia, Mexico, Germany, and Canada. It is produced by Banijay UK labels Initial and Zeppotron and is available exclusively on Amazon Prime Video.[2]
The participants were revealed in October 2024 as Bob Mortimer, Daisy May Cooper, Joe Lycett, Judi Love, Rob Beckett, Sara Pascoe, Lou Sanders, Joe Wilkinson, Harriet Kemsley, and Richard Ayoade.[3] The first four episodes were released on 20 March 2025, with the final two being released the following week on 27 March.
