LAST ONE LAUGHING: JIMMY CARR TO HOST UK VERSION OF COMEDY FORMAT ON PRIME VIDEO

Prime Video will launch a UK version of the international hit format, Last One Laughing, which will be hosted by the award-winning comedian, television presenter and writer, Jimmy Carr.

The series will be available exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide in 2025. Millions of Prime members in the UK and Ireland enjoy savings, convenience, and entertainment, all in a single membership for just £8.99/month or best value £95/year.

Famous for his dark humour, one liners and THAT laugh, Jimmy Carr challenges 10 of Britain’s funniest comics to spend the day together without so much as cracking a smile. Over the course of the series, they will use every ounce of their comedic talents to try and break their opponents without cracking up themselves. And it’s not just their rivals they need to watch out for.

The show is packed with comedy cameos, format twists and surprises designed to lure a smile from the players and belly laughs from viewers. The rules are simple: laugh and you’re out. It’s a stellar line up of British comedy talent as you’ve never seen them before, but who will  be crowned the inaugural winner of Last One Laughing UK?

Last One Laughing UK is the latest adaptation of the successful Amazon Original series from Japan entitled Documental, created by and starring Hitoshi Matsumoto and owned by Yoshimoto Kogyo, where Matsumoto leads 10 comedians betting their own money in an anything goes “battle of laughter behind closed doors.”

Jimmy Carr commented: “I’m thrilled to be making Last One Laughing UK with Prime Video. It’s sure to deliver and if it doesn’t, it will leave the fun with your neighbours. Usually when I make a TV show with 10 brilliant comics, I’m expecting everyone to have a bloody good laugh - but not in this series. The last one laughing wins. It’s a great format and it’s been a huge hit around the world. I can’t wait to see who cracks up first.”

"We're incredibly excited to bring the UK version of Last One Laughing to Prime Video” said Tara Erer, Head of UK and Northern Europe Originals for Amazon MGM Studios.

“This show has been a huge success globally, and we can't wait to see how our talented UK comedians put their own spin on it. The UK has always produced world class comedy and having Jimmy Carr on board as the host is a fantastic addition. His sharp wit and comedic brilliance are the perfect fit for overseeing the hilarity that is sure to ensue."

Last One Laughing UK is produced by Banijay UK labels Initial and Zeppotron.
