Hosted by Graham Norton, the reality game show puts an Irish spin on an already hit format.
Prime Video’s new Irish comedy series LOL: Last One Laughing Ireland has just been released on the streaming service.
The reality game show puts an Irish spin on Prime Video’s hit LOL: Last One Laughing format which sees 10 comedians stay together in a living-room style studio for a few hours.
During this time, laughing or smiling is forbidden – with those that do either twice being eliminated.
To win the game, the comedians must try and make each other laugh, while not reacting to their opponents’ attempts to make them break.
The Irish version of the series is hosted by Graham Norton and sees Aisling Bea, Amy Huberman, Catherine Bohart, David McSavage, Deirdre O’Kane, Emma Doran, Jason Byrne, Martin Angolo, Paul Tylak and Tony Cantwell taking part.
And in keeping with extra efforts to make the 10 competing comedians break into laughter and get disqualified, several other Irish celebrities make guest appearances on the programme.

Based on the three episodes of the six-part show JOE has seen, we can confirm the end result is very funny.
Just by putting a handful of some of Ireland’s finest comedians in a room together, its inevitable that the comedic sparks are going to fly.
Add into that the 10 competitors increasingly desperate attempts to make each other laugh, those attempts being met with stony faces and the genuine suspense that any player could be kicked out at any moment – and the end result is an often hilarious, easy-to-watch and compelling piece of entertainment.
In fact, we can’t wait for the inevitable second season, with another batch of hilarious Irish talent.
LOL: Last One Laughing is available to stream in its entirety on Prime Video right now.
