The ultimate test of composure returns
Jimmy Carr challenges 10 of Britain's funniest comics to spend the day together without so much as a titter. The rules are simple: laugh and you're out.
Over the course of the series, contestants use every ounce of their comedic talent to try to break their opponents without cracking up themselves. And it's not just their rivals they need to watch out for—the series is packed with comedy cameos, format twists, and surprises designed to lure laughs from both the players and the viewers.
