LOL: Last One Laughing UK

The show brings together ten comedians who must compete to remain expressionless while attempting to make their competitors laugh. Any contestant who laughs, smirks, or visibly reacts is given a warning, followed by elimination upon a second offence, though based on how much time remains, contestants may incur an automatic red card. The last remaining comedian is declared the winner and receives the LOLUK Trophy. If more than one comedian remains, the winner is decided by the comedian who caused the most laughs. Additional gameplay mechanics include the "joker", a prepared performance that all contestants must watch by the person performing. The objective remains to make the contestants laugh. A joker can be played by the contestant at any time, or if instructed to do so by the host. Throughout the game, contestants participate in group games, head-to-heads at the direction of the host, and guests are inserted at random intervals who are not bound by the same rules in an attempt to make contestants laugh. == Production ==
