Last One Laughing is BACK, people. Which is very welcome news, because we could all do with a proper, tear-inducing laugh right now. You know the kind: clutching your stomach, wheezing as if you’ve just run a marathon, mascara halfway down your face, and seriously questioning your bladder control. That level of unhinged humour? You'll find it Last One Laughing season 2.
Returning to our screens for a second round of chaos, the hit comedy format once again gathers a line-up of the UK’s sharpest comedians and locks them in a room together with one very simple objective: make each other laugh. The twist, of course, is that they absolutely cannot laugh themselves.

The result? Some of the most chaotic comedy you’ll watch all year. Because watching professional funny people desperately try not to be funny (while simultaneously trying to break everyone else) is somehow even more entertaining than a standard stand-up set.
Here’s everything you need to know about Last One Laughing UK season 2, including who’s involved, when it’s landing, and why it’s about to take over your watchlist.

Who is in season 2 of Last One Laughing UK?
Leading the charge is reigning champion Bob Mortimer, returning to defend his title against a brilliantly chaotic line-up. Joining him are David Mitchell, Maisie Adam, Mel Giedroyc, Diane Morgan, Romesh Ranganathan, Amy Gledhill, Alan Carr, Sam Campbell and Gbemisola Ikumelo.
The inclusion of Sam Campbell is an interesting twist, given that this is meant to be the British edition, but honestly, the Aussie comedian is so funny we’ll let it slide. We’re also thrilled to see Gbemisola Ikumelo joining the fray, best known for her role in Black Ops, bringing even more comedic brilliance to the chaos. As for Alan Carr, his stint on Celebrity Traitors reminded us that this man knows humour. And Philomena Cunk stole our hearts as Philomena Cunk with her mockumentaries available to watch on Netflix.
