Laugh One Laughing season 2 finale spoilers incoming!
Season 2 of Last One Laughing has had us LOLing. And the last laugh was one for the ages in that epic finale.
The hilarious show sees a group of comedians locked in a room together for six hours, all trying to hold in their giggles while simultaneously trying to make the others break. Cue a lot of pained grimacing on screen and uproarious laughter at home.
Throughout the show, each comedian performs their “joker”, a special skit designed to make their fellow contestants laugh. Host Jimmy Carr, joined this season by comedian Roisin Conaty, are the puppet masters behind the scenes, watching (and laughing) on, prepared to hand out yellow then red cards to the comedians who crack up.
The second season has been just as ridiculous as we could have hoped. Mel Giedroyc's eternal grimace. Gbemisola Ikumelo's explosive guffaws. Diane Morgan's iconic deadpan. Sam Campbell's also very iconic deadpan — and that bird skit. Romesh Ranganathan's sniper attack in the broom closet. Bob Mortimer! What a wild time it has been.
It all came to an end this evening in the finale, when the four finalists battled it out and tried to hold in their laughter till the very end.
Who won Last One Laughing?
David Mitchell was one competitor who seemed completely unbeatable. His joker was first — and was utterly hilarious: a deeply strange vaudeville-style song with a catchy “flash, bang, wallop” chorus that is still stuck in our heads. As Mitchell continued to be unbreakable, Jimmy eventually challenged him and Sam (another unbreakable king of deadpan) to a face-off. Although they were initially tasked with bragging to each other, things quickly descended into a scream-off. Unhinged.
David was ultimately crowned winner — but the competition was fierce.
First, he almost took down when Bob showing him and Mel strange lunch meats on his phone. “I am so intimately involved with luncheon meats and spams,” Bob said.
Mel and Bob went head-to-head, with an animal sound challenge, that resulted in Mel's red card.
Bob was next to go, when David said, "I was just chadwicking!"
Sam and David found themselves in a tiebreak, determined by who had made the most people laugh — and it turned out, David had taken the most people down.
"That was quite insane because I think we disappeared into a place where there was no laughter," David said after winning. “I have to say, for all the bleakness at the end, I am delighted to win and I think that shows a want of character in me, but I was very pleased.”
Will the new SNL Brits outlive our past attempts at a late-night comedy sketch show?

Who were the runners-up of Last One Laughing?
Speaking of Sam Campbell, he also made it all the way to the final. Because of course he did. Nothing seems to get to Sam, even though everything that comes out of his mouth is hilarious. His joker same him dressing up as a bird (with very long human legs) in a cage. As I said earlier, pretty much everything Sam did was unhinged in the best possible way. When comedians Ellie White and Natasia Demetriou appeared as fake intimacy coordinators trying to get the contestants to break, Sam succeeded in almost getting them to break. And he never laughed. What a competitor.
Reigning champ Bog Mortimer returned to the show after winning in season 1. His trick? A flawless laugh grimace, as pictured above. Highlights include Bob's joker, a strange story about Croydon Costco and a pigeon. Naturally. He also took part in a face off with David Mitchell acting as his guidance councellor, which ended up in Bob recommending David go work at the “shit farm”. We'd expect nothing less.
Named the funniest TV show of 2026, you don't want to miss it.
Mel, the season's unexpected champ, took Bob's advice and developed her own laugh face — a deeply weird gurning underbite situation. Her street theatre joker was iconic and genuinely impressive. She also came with a few surprises — namely, her hairy cookies, which she tried to serve to her fellow contestants.
