Last One Laughing returned this year for a triumphant second season and, judging by the line-up for the third, more hilarity awaits.
The Amazon Prime Video show will feature another batch of comedians trying to make each other laugh, all while keeping a straight face.
Jimmy Carr has roped in 10 of Britain’s leading comics to pass a day together at an unspecified location, where the decor seems to have taken inspiration from a CBeebies show.
The announcement for the upcoming season promises yet more comedy cameos, format twists and surprises designed to lure laughs from the players.
It isn’t just the format that’s getting a twist, because for the first time, Roisin Conaty is truly being given something to do and will ditch her role as Carr’s sidekick to enter the game.
Mel Giedroyc will return from season two to take on deputy duties in the control room. And she isn’t the only returning face for Last One Laughing season three…
Who else will be taking part, in the hopes of nabbing David Mitchell’s crowd? Let’s dive in.
Lee Mack is a dab hand at making people laugh on Would I Lie to You? so there’s no doubt that he will be a contender in the Last One Laughing house. As long as he can stifle his own chuckles.
He’s also got his own long-running BBC sitcom Not Going Out; perhaps the acting will come in handy when trying to keep a poker face.
Katherine Ryan is a powerhouse comedian, with a list of accomplishments longer than this space allows.
On her podcast, aptly titled Telling Everybody Everything, Ryan has also always been open about undergoing Botox and filler treatments. In the Last One Laughing context, the ability to be funny and keep your face motionless cannot be underestimated.
This list is flooded with some of the UK’s most popular comedians, and Harry Hill is among them.
Judging from the Last One Laughing season three cast picture, the signature big collar will be out. Expect daft, absurdist one-liners to come out of it.
And she’s a Bafta winner! Katherine Parkinson is on quite the run. She had said Bafta win in May for Here We Go, her show-stealing Rivals romance with Danny Dyer’s Freddie and now her Last One Laughing debut.
She’s been on Taskmaster, she’s been on Travel Man, it’s only right she puts her IT Crowd comedy chops to work in the Amazon show too.
