Mr Swallow tries to make fellow comedians crack up

Nick Mohammed and Alison Hammond are to appear as cameos in the upcoming reality show Last One Laughing , Amazon has announced.

The show, launching on Prime Video on March 20, involves a cast of comics who must not crack into a laugh else they will get eliminated.

Mohammed appears in the guise of Mr Swallow, trying out a psychic reading with Lou Sanders, a turn at the Ouija board with Daisy May Cooper and a game of rock, paper, scissors with Harriet Kemsley.

Meanwhile. Alison Hammond has also been revealed as making a cameo appearance, deployng her infectious laugh to try to defeat the comics.

The other contestants are Bob Mortimer, Joe Lycett, Judi Love, Rob Beckett, Sara Pascoe,  Joe Wilkinson, Harriet Kemsley and Richard Ayoade.

Jimmy Carr hosts with the aid of Roisin Conaty. 

The format was devised by Japanese comic Hitoshi Matsumoto – although in his version, entitled Documental,  comedians staked their own money.

It has since spawned more than 20 international versions, including an Irish one hosted by Graham Norton, an Australian series presented by Rebel Wilson and a South Africa version fronted by Trevor Noah.

Here’s the trailer for the UK series:
