Ten of Britain's sharpest comics sit in one room with a single rule: do not laugh. That is the entire premise of LOL: Last One Laughing UK, a 2025 comedy reality series hosted by Jimmy Carr.
What is LOL: Last One Laughing UK about?
Jimmy Carr, known for a deadpan delivery, dark one-liners, and a laugh that has become a signature of its own, sets the terms for the group: ten well-known UK comedians spend a full day locked in a single space, and the moment any of them so much as cracks a smile, they are out. Everyone in the room is trying to do two things at once, staying stone-faced themselves while throwing every bit, prop, and impression they have at the others to break their composure first. Roisin Conaty, Richard Ayoade, Rob Beckett, Harriet Kemsley, Judi Love, Joe Lycett, and Daisy May Cooper are among the comics testing how long they can hold out against material built specifically to wear down their guard. There is no script beyond the rule itself, so each episode plays out as a slow war of attrition between performers who know exactly how the others work and use that familiarity against them, right up until only one competitor is left holding a straight face.

Context & significance

The UK cast draws from stand-up, sketch, and panel-show backgrounds, giving the series a mix of comic styles rarely gathered in one format, and the show runs with Persian dubbing and Persian subtitles available for viewers who want either option.
