Just when fans thought they couldn't possibly wait any longer for another dose of Last One Laughing, Prime Video has put them out of their misery with a Halloween special.
Hosted by Jimmy Carr and Roisin Conaty, the two seasons of Last One Laughing UK proved a massive hit for Prime Video. The first won best entertainment programme at the 2026 BAFTA TV Awards, with Bob Mortimer picking up an award for best entertainment performance.
The Halloween special features seven comedians, two of which are returning contestants, who all have two simple rules they must follow: don't laugh and don't scream. As well as each other, the comedians will also be subjected to cursed props, ghostly interruptions and spooky surprises, all designed to catch them off guard.
But who are the comedians getting put through their paces? Read on to learn more about the cast of Last One Laughing UK Halloween.
