Last One Laughing Ireland: Here's how to watch the comedy show helmed by Graham Norton - and full cast
The second series of the UK version may nearly be finished, but there are more laughs to be had in the Irish version.
This week sees the grand finale of season two of comedy game show Last One Laughing UK on Amazon Prime Video.
Another 10 comedians are being challenged to stifle a laugh for six hours under the watchful eyes of Jimmy Carr and Roisin Conaty.
The first season was a huge hit, quickly becoming the most-streamed show on the platform, with viewers enjoying a dramatic showdown between Bob Mortimer and Richard Ayoade.
Defending champ Mortimer is back for the second series and is still in the running with the last of six episodes released this Thursday.
While it’s highly likely that a third series will swiftly be commissioned, there’s going to be a long time to wait.
Luckily for fans, the format has been adapted for more than 30 countries since the original, called Documental, was broadcast on Japanese television back in 2016.
While the majority aren’t in English, there is an Irish version featuring many faces that will be familiar to British television viewers.
And all six episodes of the first series are ready to bingewatch now.
Here’s everything you need to know about it and where you can catch it.
What are the rules of Last One Laughing Ireland?
The rules of the show really couldn’t be simpler. 10 famous comedians are locked in a room together for six hours and challenged not to laugh or smile. One smile or laugh sees them given a yellow card, while a second sees them ejected from the game. The last one remaining wins the game (hence the name).
What does the winner of Last One Laughing Ireland get?
Unlike the British version, where the comedians are simply playing for a trophy, the winner of Last One Laughing Ireland gets €50,000 to go to the charity of their choice.
