The comedy-variety series, produced with Endemol Shine Australia, will feature a star-studded cast of 10 Australian comedic actors and stand-ups competing to make each other laugh first. The final one left standing will win the grand prize of AUD$100,000.

Hosted by Rebel Wilson, the series will showcase a range of comedy styles, including stand-up, character, improvisational and physical comedy, among others. Helping them keep a straight face will be Wilson, who is also executive producing.

Last One Laughing follows the format of the successful Amazon Original series from Japan, HITOSHI MATSUMOTO Presents Documental, produced by and starring comedian Hitoshi Matsumoto. The format was also launched in Mexico with comedian Eugenio Derbez as the laugh-house’s host.
