Graham Norton is set to return to our screens for a brand new, Irish-led comedy show.
The TV personality is set to present the new Prime Video series, LOL: Last One Laughing Ireland, and will be joined by a star studded line-up from the Emerald Isle.
Graham will star alongside 10 celebrity comedians, known as household names nationwide for their hilarity.
These competitors include Aisling Bea, Amy Huberman, Catherine Bohart, David McSavage, Deirdre O’Kane, Emma Doran, Jason Byrne, Martin Angolo, Paul Tylak, and Tony Cantwell.
The official description of the show reads; ‘Using his trademark wit, host Graham Norton will oversee the 10 comedic stars, brought together to make each other laugh by using every unpredictable comedic tool in the box … without cracking a smile themselves.’
‘With the added bonus of some celebrity cameos, their performances will have viewers—but hopefully not their fellow stars—laughing out loud.’
‘As the clock counts down and the tension rises, whoever can outlast their competitors will be crowned the first winner of LOL: Last One Laughing Ireland and win a grand prize of €50,000 for their charity of choice.’
Graham’s return to Irish television comes after he recently lifted the lid on life as a newly married man.
The BBC star tied the knot with Scottish filmmaker Jonathan (Jono) McLeod back in July 2022 in news which took his fans by surprise.
Discussing his recent nuptials, Graham told Brendan O’Connor: ‘I felt I was kind of going to be very happy as a single man.’
‘I was going to be one of those older single men. A bachelor, that’s what I was going to be, I was going to be your protestant country bachelor.’
‘When Jono came along that was just a great surprise. It was a lovely surprise,’ he said, ‘I suppose once it happens you’re like “oh wow life is so much better like this”. But it wasn’t like I was miserable before Jono came along.’
LOL: Last One Laughing will air on Prime Video in 2024.
