Prime Video is giving a glimpse at its first Irish Original comedy series, ‘LOL: Last One Laughing Ireland’, ahead of the series global launch on 19th January 2024.
Hosted by Graham Norton, the series will feature some of Ireland’s biggest and best comedic talent: Aisling Bea, Amy Huberman, Catherine Bohart, David McSavage, Deirdre O’Kane, Emma Doran, Jason Byrne, Martin Angolo, Paul Tylak, and Tony Cantwell. Watch the teaser below:
Using his trademark wit, host Graham Norton will oversee the 10 comedic stars, brought together to make each other laugh by using every unpredictable comedic tool in the box … without cracking a smile themselves. With the added bonus of some celebrity cameos, their performances will have viewers – but hopefully not their fellow stars – laughing out loud. As the clock counts down and the tension rises, whoever can outlast their competitors will be crowned the first winner of ‘LOL: Last One Laughing Ireland’ and win a grand prize of €50,000 for their charity of choice.
The fan-favourite ‘LOL: Last One Laughing’ format has become the most watched title of all time on Prime Video in Italy, France, and Germany, and had hugely successful local versions in Mexico, Australia, India, Spain, Canada, The Netherlands, Colombia, Argentina, Brazil, and Sweden.
Other local celebrity hosts include Jay Baruchel (Canada), Eugenio Derbez (Mexico), Fedez (Italy), Michael “Bully” Herbig (Germany), and Rebel Wilson (Australia). Prime Video recently announced ‘LOL: Last One Laughing South Africa’ will be its first South African Original, hosted by Trevor Noah. ‘LOL: Last One Laughing Ireland’ is the latest adaptation of the successful Prime Video series in Japan, ‘Documental’, created by and starring Hitoshi Matsumoto and owned by Yoshimoto Kogyo, where Matsumoto leads 10 comedians in an anything goes “battle of laughter behind closed doors.”
