Irish version of popular Taskmaster-filled show trends again after runaway streaming success

The Irish version of “Last One Laughing” (LOL) has resurfaced in streaming popularity, gaining traction once more, thanks to the UK edition’s success.

In this Amazon Prime Video show, ten comedians are confined to a single room, where the objective is to outwit and ultimately eliminate each other through humor rather than physical means.

After achieving great success with its British counterpart that continues to lead on Prime Video’s streaming rankings, the Irish edition of LOL: Last One Laughing, hosted by Graham Norton, has also gained popularity and made it to the top 5 in the chart.

The logline states that Graham Norton has gathered ten incredibly funny individuals from Ireland for a six-hour competition, an event where every participant is humorous, yet no one is permitted to chuckle!

In the plot summary for this series, released back in January 2024, it mentions that whoever can make others laugh effortlessly, even if they don’t find humor in their own jokes, will secure a staggering €50,000 donation to their preferred charity. As a fan, I can hardly wait to see who takes the stage and brings the house down!

The six-episode series, titled “LOL: Last One Laughing Ireland “, features an ensemble of talented comedians such as Amy Huberman, Aisling Bea, David McSavage, Jason Byrne, Deirdre O’Kane, Catherine Bohart, Martin Angolo, Paul Tylak, Emma Doran and Tony Cantwell.

The Irish version of the show experienced its success following the UK edition, hosted by Jimmy Carr, that captivated audiences for the past month, leaving numerous viewers eagerly requesting another season.
