Ready for a good laugh? You’re in luck, because Last One Laughing is finally back for a its much-anticipated second season.
The first season of the Prime series proved that absolutely nothing is funnier than watching a bunch of the funniest comedians trying not to crack up. The premise is simple. With Jimmy Carr (king of the funny laugh) hosting, a group of comedians are tasked with making each other laugh — the last one not laughing, wins.
And there were some incredible attempts. Who could forget Bob Mortimer’s wild, carrot-filled magic show? Or, for that matter, his date with Richard Ayoade? And, of course, Joe Wilkinson’s unhinged RNLI speech.
The good news is, a new group of comedians are here to lighten the mood once again with another season of the hilarious show, which premiered yesterday. Here’s who will be competing to keep a straight face.

David Mitchell
Comedian David Mitchell is a very familiar face in the UK comedy circuit. A panelist on Would I Lie to You and a guest on pretty much all of the other panel shows, he certainly has plenty of experience coming up with jokes designed to make his fellow comedians crack up.
Mitchell has had a long career in comedy that began with the iconic, hilarious Peep Show along with his sketch show That Mitchell and Webb Look. He’s also appeared in a few drama and comedy shows, including the recent BBC detective show Ludwig and Shakespeare comedy Upstart Crow.
