Additional contributors to the show include Emma Doran, Jason Byrne, Martin Angolo, Paul Tylak, and Tony Cantwell. Hosted by Graham Norton, ten comedians will be assembled to amuse each other using a variety of unpredictable comedic techniques, all while refraining from laughing themselves.
The comedian who manages to outlast the others, emerging as the ultimate winner, will secure €50,000 for their chosen charity. The teaser showcases a light-hearted compilation of all ten comedians struggling to stifle their laughter, ultimately failing and prompting a stern-faced Graham Norton to brandish a red card.
The LOL: Last One Laughing format has achieved the status of the most-watched title ever on Prime Video in Italy, France, and Germany. It has also seen successful adaptations in various countries, including Mexico, Australia, India, Spain, Canada, the Netherlands, Colombia, Argentina, Brazil, and Sweden.
Notably, other editions feature local celebrity hosts, such as Rebel Wilson in the Australian version. You can check out the show on Amazon Prime by clicking here.
