Prime Video renews 'funniest series of the year' for second season

A new streaming series fans have called the funniest show they've seen in years has been renewed for a second season.

This Prime Video original featured 10 of the UK's most beloved comics going head-to-head in a competition like no other.

Based on the Japanese game show Documental, this version is hosted by Jimmy Carr and Roisin Conaty, who challenge the famous funny folk to make each other laugh while their competitors have to keep a straight face.

Anyone who so much as smirks is given a warning before being eliminated from the competition altogether on their second offence.

LOL: Last One Laughing will soon pit 10 more famous faces against each other in the giggle-inducing gauntlet, following Gone Fishing star Bob Mortimer being crowned the winner back in March.

Host Jimmy said of the show's renewal: "I'm absolutely delighted that Last One Laughing is coming back for a second series.

"I think what's happened is someone high up at Amazon has clicked 'subscribe & save' on Prime Video and, hey presto, we're back in business. I'm so pleased people had as much fun watching the first season as we had making it.

"Can't wait to bask in the reflected glory of the next 10 comedy legends taking on the challenge."

If you've not tuned into the series yet, take it from these fans who have already bust a gut laughing during the show's debut.

"Without a doubt this was one of the funniest programmes that I've ever watched!" one fan said in their Google review.

"This is comedy genius. Hope and pray for a second, third, fourth etc etc series."

Someone else wrote: "Watching very funny people trying very hard not to laugh is way funnier than you might expect. It seems that for some folk it's just a waste of time, but of course humour is subjective.

"I found it consistently hilarious, especially with a few well-chosen special guests thrown in.

"Richard Ayoade and Bob Mortimer are just insanely hilarious throughout. A brilliant, brilliant show. Can't wait for series two."

Another fan gushed: "Absolutely hilarious!! I'd go as far as to even watch the series again! Such a great selection of comedians!"

And a final viewer said: "Best ever, haven't laughed as much in years. Casting was spot on and we need another series."

Don't forget to tune into the first season of Last One Laughing and keep your eyes peeled for the second instalment.

Last One Laughing is available to stream on Prime Video.
